Of course, everyone knows what Xu Ji meant, after all, Sun Ce and Cao Cao are both complete and intrigued, and there is no reason why Cao Cao is unlucky and Sun Ce does not take advantage of the fire to rob.

Xu Ji briefly talked about Sun Ce's actions in Nanyang again, and others didn't know what was going on, but Xun You, who knew that Xu Ji had a map of entering Shu, immediately guessed Xu Ji's plan, and understood Sun Ce's plan even more, and nodded when he heard this: "It seems that we not only want to defeat Cao Cao, but also let Sun Ce not get this news in a short time." Xu Ji smiled and said: "Of course, in fact, Sun Ce's eyes should have been attracted by our army's series of actions like that, and a single retreat of Yanzhou merchants is enough for him to have a headache." On the contrary, I am worried about Cao Cao's problem, and now it seems that Cao Mengde is very likely to bribe the south to return to the army all the way, and no longer pay attention to the gains and losses of Xiapi and Guangling. Liao Hua frowned on the side and said: "This is indeed a problem, we want to attract Cao Cao to weaken Cao Cao's strength, but if Cao Cao ignores us at all, wouldn't we be a clever woman who has no rice to cook?" Is it difficult to go out of the city to pursue? Xun You shook his head and said: "Absolutely not, that is equivalent to us giving up the geographical advantage, Cao Cao is very cunning, although our army has a steady advantage, but Cao Cao is cunning and wise, not to attack lightly, if he bites back, then the gain outweighs the loss." Xu Ji nodded in complete agreement and said, "Youruo's words make a lot of sense. Since Cao Mengde is going to be defeated and return to Jiangdong, we are already in an invincible position, and now we are discussing the question of how to ask Cao Mengde to pay more interest. If we have nothing to do, then what about letting Cao Mengde go? Don't forget that the control of the north bank of the Yangtze River is our main goal. If there is no good way, then we will rely on natural danger to defend it. Anyway, we have left a shadow on Cao Mengde's mind. When he fights Cao Mengde again in the future, he will definitely have a huge impact on him. The crowd nodded. I think so. Xun You, who had been silent for a long time, had been full of confidence all the time, obviously having other plans, but at this moment he suddenly smiled and said: "Actually, this matter is easy to solve, I have a plan, so that Cao Mengde has to invest troops to fight our army." When everyone heard this, their spirits were lifted. looked at Xun You. The famous wise man of the three kingdoms said indifferently: "To fight for the world, the right time, place and people are indispensable, but the most important thing is people, Cao Cao should know in his heart that after the affairs of Chang'an are revealed." He has lost the prestige of the Han Dynasty's loyal vassals, and of course he can't talk about occupying the sky; Now that the control of the north bank of the Yangtze River has fallen into our hands, there is naturally no geographical advantage; The only thing Cao Cao can leave now is people, but after this defeat. Cao Cao returned to Jiangdong, what will be the attitude of the families in Jiangdong towards Cao Cao? Therefore, Cao Cao's task in the coming period will definitely be internal rather than external. ”

Everyone nodded. Listening to Xun You is indeed a great joy in life, and it is clear and clear. Xun You looked at Xu Ji thoughtfully. smiled and said: "To be human, first of all, Cao Cao's headquarters needs to be peaceful, or rather." Cao Cao's men must be loyal and of excellent material, there are many such people Cao Cao's subordinates, but there are only a few outstanding ones, if this kind of talent is in danger. Cao Cao will definitely be saved......"

Xu Jihu's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "It turns out that if you are full of pets, pay attention!" ”

Xun You laughed and said, "The lord still knows me, and his subordinates are planning to do so." Everyone in the hall also understood one after another when they heard this. I can't help but shout about the clever plan.

Xu Ji said angrily: "Youruo really has a hand!" It is indeed difficult to come up with such a variant plan to encircle and send reinforcements. The crowd nodded. Who would have thought that Xun Yu would actually use the strategy he had always used to siege the city?

Liao Hua dared to be surprised on the side: "I always thought that the siege of Manzhong was not attacked in order to lure the defenders of the three cities of Huaiyin to dispatch, but I didn't expect that the 'aid' that Mr. was going to fight turned out to be Cao Cao." Xun You smiled and said: "This strategy is not difficult to think. I can think of it, and Cao Cao can definitely think of it. ”

The people who were rejoicing heard this, and immediately thought about it calmly, and knew that Xun You was right, if Cao Cao saw through it, then wouldn't it be empty joy?

Xu Ji looked at Xun You, his heart moved, and he suddenly realized: "Yes, Youruo didn't do this to deceive Cao Cao, but to make it clear that he wanted to attack Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao would not be able to raise his head in front of us in the future." This conspiracy was placed in front of Cao Cao, but he couldn't help it, unless he decided to give up his favor. Xun You nodded and said: "That's right, you must know that even if Cao Cao already knows our strategy now, he still has to come to the rescue of Manzhong, because Manzhong is too important to him, in the long run, Cao Cao also needs Manzhong to give him advice, and it is easy to get money, and it will be difficult to find, not to mention such a wise man as Manpet?" Secondly, in the short term, Cao Cao must also rescue Man Favor, you must know that Man Pet plays a pivotal role in Cao Cao's army, if Cao Mengde watched Man Pet be killed by our army and had no rescue action, the impact on Cao Cao in the Jiangdong Army will be very huge, no soldier will really look down on and be willing to obey the orders of the chief general who is greedy for life and afraid of death and does not sympathize with his subordinates. So Cao Cao will come to save Manzhong no matter what, of course we are clearly bullying him and making him dumb to eat Coptis chinensis, and we can't say anything about the suffering. The crowd laughed. Only Gong Du questioned: "I don't know much about Cao Cao, of course I don't have the right to find out, but just now the lord also said that Cao Mengde is a person with the courage of a strong man to break his wrist, can't he just go away without being full of favor?" He can explain it to his subordinates, it's our plan. Xu Ji had a good impression of this talented general of the Yellow Turban Army, and said with a smile at this moment: "General Gong Du's question is reasonable, but Cao Cao's explanation can be said to his generals at most, but he can't explain it to his soldiers, because it will only be worse, and the soldiers will not understand Cao Cao's difficulties, and will only secretly think that Cao Cao is too stupid to even protect his own military advisors." Youruo took a fancy to this, so he decided on this strategy, and he was not afraid that Cao Cao would not be fooled. How else to call it a dumb loss? It was to make Cao Cao speechless to the soldiers. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and they all thought what Xu Ji said was interesting. Guan Hai remembered something and said: "By the way, if you talk about rescue." Will Cao Cao go to the rescue of Peng Cheng? You know, the Cao army there has not yet been defeated. Cao Cao could also come to the rescue, and there were also large numbers of troops there. ”

Xu Ji and Xun You glanced at each other. Guan Hai, who was a little surprised, could say this, but he didn't expect this rough man to have a bit of a global view now, which is really commendable. Xu Ji said indifferently: "There is an idiom called the whip is beyond the reach of the whip. For Cao Cao, now a thousand things are coming, he himself is already a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect himself, and many things cannot be taken care of even if he has the heart. If it comes to what Cao Cao wants to rescue, in addition to being full of pets. There is also Cheng Yu, who seems to us to be unknown in life and death, but Cao Cao does not know the details. There is also the army of Li Dian who is wandering outside. These two are Cao Cao's henchmen, so how can Cao Cao let go? ”

After a pause, Xu Ji said again: "As for Pengcheng. Cao Cao didn't care very much, you must know that Pengcheng's army was not Cao Cao's descendant army after all, and Cao Cao didn't need to risk not being able to get out to rescue Pengcheng. ”

Liao Hua couldn't help but say: "Lord, we have always been ignorant of Pengcheng's affairs, and we don't understand why Zhao Yu, a family member in Xuzhou, would be so bold and reckless, and actually dare to support Cao Cao's rebellion against Yanzhou." ”

Xu Ji looked at Xun You with some astonishment. didn't expect Xun You to explain it to them, but Xun You smiled and said, "This matter was purely confidential at the time. Moreover, the flashpoint of Cao Cao's war was in Pengcheng. Of course, the less people know, the better, and Xu Yuanzhi and Yu Zhongxiang also mean this. Don't blame the lord. After all, this period of planning is too long, and no one knows what accidents will happen. Xu Ji knew that Xun You was tactful. In fact, he is afraid that people will talk about the leakage of mixed news, which is not to say that Xun You is suspicious of these people here, but he is cautious by nature, just in case. After all, many of these grassroots officers of the Yanzhou Army have bold personalities, and most of them speak straightforwardly, never guarding against anything.

Xun You looked at everyone. smiled and said: "At that time, everyone knew about this matter and there was no help, so naturally there was no explanation." But speaking out now can solve everyone's doubts. After a pause, Xun You said in a deep voice: "This matter is still very complicated. Let's talk about Cao Cao's methods against Zhao Yu first. Cao Cao has always been good at grasping people's psychological weaknesses in formulating strategies, and then unknowingly putting the enemy to death, such as the strategy designated by Cao Cao in Chang'an. However, he inevitably underestimated the lord, so he was seen through by the lord at a glance......"

Xu Jixin was ashamed, and hurriedly smiled: "If you don't want to praise me, I also made a mistake in this matter, and I found it by accident, as far as Cao Cao's own strategy is concerned, the Chang'an strategy is indeed seamless, and even when Ding Fei was killed, we didn't think it would be Cao Cao's dry land." Xun You smiled and said: "When there is land, luck is also a kind of strategy. ”

Looking at everyone who heard the words, Xun Yu continued to explain: "Zhao Yu is a very strange person, he likes novelty things, and likes the doctrine of the Yellow Turban, originally he was also quite interested in the doctrine of the Yellow Turban, but after the Yellow Turban chaos, Zhao Yu no longer believed in this set. Instead, he began to pursue other novelties. There was even a time when I was very interested in the lord's new 'Five Virtues and Sayings'. However, because he is a big family, and because the Xuzhou family is stubborn, Zhao Yu quickly gave up, which is what Cao Cao wants. Liao Hua frowned; Could it be that Cao Cao used the power of Jilangya Palace to confuse Zhao Yu? ”

Xun You shook his head and said, "Zhao Yu is already desperate for the Five Elements Doctrine, how can Zhao Yu be confused by Yu Ji?" What's more, Yu Ji himself is Zhang Jiao's master, so it is even more impossible for Zhao to believe Yu Ji's fallacies. ”

Xu Ji said in a deep voice: "Yu Ji is a person that Cao Cao used to deal with me, and together with Mrs. Yin, I want to be embarrassed internally and externally, after all, many of the policies I carried out in Chang'an were carried out in the name of the first emperor, such as the imperial examination system, which was originally very different from Hongdu Menxue, but with a similar shape and the name of the first emperor, of course it was smooth sailing, the reason why Cao Mengde brought Yu Ji here was because the first emperor was extremely enthusiastic about the Five Elements Theory, and I couldn't stop Yu Ji if he wanted to gain a foothold in Chang'an. Otherwise, what I did before would have come true. ”

Xun You nodded and sighed: "In retrospect, Cao Cao's plan in Chang'an is really terrifying. Of course, Xu Ji nodded in complete agreement, and Xun You said: "Cao Cao's method of dealing with Zhao Yu is actually Xue Li, the military advisor under Bai Liu Xuan, this Xue Li is a Shamen believer, he has no other skills, but his mouth is very powerful." is used to talking nonsense, and there are countless believers under him. They are all good and ignorant people. How can Zhao Yu resist? "Liu Pi and others were born in the Yellow Turban Sect, and of course they naturally know the tricks involved. Now that I think about it, I feel very ridiculous, but Guan Hai snorted and said, "It doesn't matter what kind of fairy and ghost talisman he is." It's all a trick of deception anyway. Hardly surprising. But this Zhao Yu is really confused, he no longer believes in the Five Elements Theory, but he all began to believe in Shamen, it is really inexplicable, I heard that this Buddhism was introduced to me during the Ming Dynasty and the Second Emperor Zhang, what is the outstanding place, can confuse Zhao Yu? Of course, Xu Ji, the later generation, knew more about Buddhism, and said with a smile at the moment: "Buddhism pays attention to the clear mind, which is quite similar to Taoism. However, it pays more attention to the fate of each person. He also said that all things are empty. This is quite different from Taoism's qi refining and refining tools. It is not surprising that Zhao Yu is most willing to miss these absurd things. After all, Buddhism and Taoism are both things that work in theory, but cannot be implemented in practice. It's like...... The same...... Hey, nothing. I secretly screamed in my heart that it was dangerous, and I almost missed my mouth again.

Everyone didn't care, Xun You narrowed his eyes and said, "According to our intelligence, we know that Xue Li has a friend who works under Zhao Yu, and he is also quite useful. It has a deep influence on Zhao Yu, this person's name is Zhenrong, of course, this person is undoubtedly a Buddhist believer......" Xu Ji said: "Cao Mengde has always been scheming, and he likes to infiltrate his own strategies unknowingly. When Zhao Yu was appointed as Peng Chengxiang by Tao Qian when he was dying, Cao Cao, who had already spread his strength throughout Jiangdong, had already begun to do it, and you must know that Xue Li was the previous Peng Chengxiang. And this Zhenrong was left in Pengcheng by Xue Li at that time, which was undoubtedly Cao Cao's foreshadowing for the control of Zhao Yu. It must be known that Tao Qian was already our enemy of Yanzhou at that time. No one would be optimistic about Tao Qian, so it was normal for Xue Li and Di Rong to be bought by Cao Cao Tongguò Liu Xuan, who was the Taishou of Guangling at the time and was familiar with the situation in Xuzhou. Xun You said in a deep voice: "As far as the current results are concerned." It should be that Zhen Rong constantly infiltrated the crooked teachings of Buddhism to his new boss Zhao Yu, leading Zhao Yu to be accused by him unconsciously, and once the time is ripe, Cao Cao's strategy will be effective, so Zhao Yu will immediately respond to Cao Cao's army. That's why we are in this situation today. ”

Only then did everyone understand the inside story. Xu Ji smiled: "In Cao Mengde's opinion, these three people are just insignificant, so how can he take these three people to heart?" Now Cao Cao is thinking about how to preserve the greatest strength and the most powerful morale of the army to return to Jiangdong, these three people, Cao Cao will let them fend for themselves. In any case, Xue Li and Zhen Rong are Liu Xuan's people, and they are not even Liu Xuan's people. ”

After a pause, Xu Ji's face showed a smile and said: "Because of this, Yuan Zhi will choose to besiege and not attack, because this kid knows that Cao Mengde will never go to the rescue of Pengcheng, and according to Xue Li and Zhenrong's behavior, Pengcheng is very likely to have fallen into a situation of self-chaos without a fight, and the final result is that we can get Pengcheng without blood, and we will be able to get a lot of human resources and materials from Pengcheng at that time." Otherwise, with Xu Shu's talent, how could he not be able to capture Pengcheng after so many times? Only then did everyone understand why Xu Shu had done nothing in Pengcheng during this time.

Thinking of the farce and tragedy of the three people in history, Xu Ji couldn't help but laugh and said: "Xue Li is a villain, and his apprentice Zhen Rong is even more villain, let's wait to see a good show!" ”

Xun You smiled and said: "So, as long as we surround Manpet, Cao Cao will naturally throw himself into the net." As for charging into battle, the lord has to put more effort into it. Of course, everyone understands what Xun Yu means, you must know that there is only one super-first-class general of the Yanzhou army who is now engaged in the battlefield in Xuzhou, but the other party has a slightly better Xu Chu, and Guan Hai and Ji Ling are much worse than the Xiahou brothers, and they can only be on a par with Cao Ren.

Now that Xu Ji, the god of war in Yanzhou, is here, of course, this problem has been completely solved.

Xu Ji looked at Xun You and said: "But we can't take it lightly, after all, Man Pet is not a weak person, and he has obtained the remnants of Huai'an City, of course he understands his current pivotal position, of course he will find a way to get out by himself, and Cao Mengde is also very likely to use this matter as bait to deceive us in turn, which is really unavoidable." Xun You said solemnly: "What the lord said is that Xun You does not dare to have the slightest heart of underestimating the enemy, I believe that Yu Zhongxiang and Xu Yuanzhi also understand this truth, this time the lord and Yuanzhi, and I and the other three will make suggestions together, and they will definitely be able to achieve the greatest results." ”

Xu Ji took a deep breath, looked out the window, and said softly: "It must be like this!" ”

But he said in his heart: Mengde, are you ready? (To be continued......)
