Deng Ai is a child after all, and he has not grown up as normally as in history, and he has never experienced hardships, so although his personality is a little low-key because of the suppression of Guo Jia and Xu Ji, his nature is still flying and jumping, and he was stunned when he heard it. Said to Xu Jizhi: "Lord... Deng Ai will definitely practice more in the future... But the lord... I'm afraid this is not something that can be done in a while......" Xu Ji looked at Deng Ai in front of him angrily, and said in his heart that he was really a big ghost, not to mention that if he could do it, he would excuse himself first, but he looked a little lazy.

Deng Ai looked at Xu Jidi's appearance, he shrank his head in fright, and didn't dare to smash the weapon to look at Xu Ji, no matter what, Xu Ji was like a god-like character in his heart, and he naturally didn't dare to make a mistake in front of Xu Ji. Xu Ji glanced at Xun Yu, who was smiling helplessly, and his eyes were clearly saying: Lord, you finally know what I have suffered all these years, right?

Xu Ji then understood why Xun Yu's letter in the past once Deng Ai was mentioned with a happy pain, because this Deng Ai is a genius at the same time, he is also a clever and eccentric guy, and he has some whimsical ideas and ideas all the time.

Children, of course, it's better to be lively, but you can't let him make a mistake like this, after all, as the leader and leader of Yanzhou in the future, you should be steady and do things first, otherwise how can you serve the public? Thinking of this, Xu Ji looked at Deng Ai again, and said solemnly: "You kid, you will talk about the east and the west when you are in a meeting, and you have time to learn more from your Uncle Guo Jia, although he is a prodigal, he is the most serious person when discussing national affairs." ”

When Deng Ai heard Guo Jiadi's name, he was shocked, and he was sincerely afraid: "The kid is reckless." The lord's golden and jade words must be remembered by the boy. ”

Xu Ji nodded secretly, this is the attitude that a successful person should have. Come to think of it. Xu Ji smiled: "Okay, tell me what you have in mind." Let's see if you and I have thought of one place? ”

Deng Ai's face was straight, and he said to Xu Ji: "There are only three things that the lord is worried about: first, Cao Ren is entrenched in Xiapi, and Cao Cao can attack and retreat; Second, Zhao Yu ignores Yanzhou, and secretly must have considerable strength and reliance, I expect that this person must be Cao Mengde; The third thought that Zhao Yu and Cao Ren were each other's horns, avoiding the situation that Cao Ren was alone in the depths. But so? Xun Yu nodded again and again after hearing this, and everyone around him understood why Xu Ji cared about Xuzhou's affairs.

Xu Ji laughed and said, "Go on." Deng Ai said calmly: "Although Xiapi is small, it is a matter of importance." Especially now, although on the surface the strength of the Central Plains Yanzhou Army is very strong, but there is no one to lead, Mr. Yu Fu has done his best to deal with the affairs of Xuzhou, although General Gao Shun is invincible in attacking the city, but he is not a commander who can take charge alone. Besides, now the generals of the Central Plains are nothing more than Yu Tuo, Gao Shun, and Guan Hai, and General Ji Ling, the rebel general of Yuan Shu, can barely be selected, compared to Cao Mengde, these people are inevitably a little stretched. If something happens, the consequences will be unimaginable. What Deng Ai said was not stammering at all. Everyone heard it clearly, and after hearing the words, they all felt a chill, this Cao Cao was really scheming, some time ago. In order to deal with Cao Cao's conspiracy in Chang'an, these strategists and generals under Xu Ji have exhausted their mental strength. And he was in a hurry, so he ignored the affairs of Xuzhou. Who knew that Xuzhou, which seemed to be stable, was actually full of hidden dangers, which was unexpected by everyone who was ecstatic when they heard about Yu's wedding.

Deng Ai seemed to see through everyone's thoughts. But he didn't say anything at all, and said endlessly: "As the lord said, Cao Mengde's overall view is extremely good, and when we look at Xuzhou as the topic." We must take Chang'an, Yuzhou, Jingzhou, General Zhang Xiu and General Lu Bu into account. Everyone was stunned, even Xu Ji and Xun Yu were no exception.

The overall situation that Xu Ji thought of was nothing more than the relationship between Chang'an and Xuzhou, who knew that Deng Ai thought further

Xu Jida said with interest: "Go on." ”

looked at Xu Ji's eyes blazing. Deng Ai was a little excited: "In my opinion, the qiē that Cao Cao is arranging now is simply to defeat the lord in one fell swoop, not as simple as just driving the lord out of Chang'an. After a pause, Deng Ai said even more excitedly: "If I were Cao Cao, the key to the launch of this matter must be on the Yin family." According to Cao Cao's plan. The Yin family first seduced the lord, so that Mrs. Cai and Princess Yining, who would then go to Chang'an, resented the lord for this, so that the lord would bear the name of lust, and then, the Yin family would pretend to be virtuous, compromise, and not be jealous with the ladies, and then he would show his pity to the lord. Leaning towards Mr. Xu Shu, after Mr. Xu Shu was confused, he let the lord know about this matter, and the lord would be furious when he knew it, so he went to drive Mr. Xu Shu away and asked Mr. Xu Shu to return to the Central Plains. After a long pause, Deng Ai stopped, took a slight breath, looked at the people who were a little stupid, and continued: "At the same time, according to Cao Cao's plan, because Lu Bu and General Zhang Xiu had already occupied the hostile side of the master, they laid the groundwork for Cao Cao to capture Chang'an. And at this time, it was Cao Cao's best chance to launch the Xuzhou offensive. ”

After listening to Deng Ai's analysis, Zhuge Jin immediately changed color and said: "I see, because Cao Cao's offensive is very sudden, General Yu Fu must be tired of coping, but Cao Cao can persuade General Xu Shu, who should go to the Central Plains, to rebel against the lord because of Yin's affairs, so that both Chongzhou and Yizhou will fall into Cao Cao's hands." When everyone heard this, this analysis was indeed very reasonable.

At this time, the young Chen Qun showed his far-sighted side as a strategist, and pondered: "Although the words make sense, but even if Cao Cao has such a big appetite, he doesn't have that much strength, although Cao Cao's strength has developed rapidly after he led Jiangdong, but he doesn't have so many troops to occupy these many places, so he ......" Xu Ji had already thought of Deng Ai's meaning, and said in a deep voice: "That's why there will be Zhang Ji and Sun Ce's affairs, and Cao Cao doesn't need Xu Shu to help himself blatantly, Cao Mengde should know that the most special thing about my Yanzhou army is that no matter who leads the army, they will resolutely carry out the order, but they are only loyal to me Xu Ji, if Xu Shu's rebellion becomes too obvious, then he will definitely be killed by his Yanzhou generals, so what Xu Shu has to do is to drag our army in Jizhou and Yanzhou so that they can't rescue Xuzhou. In this way, Cao Mengde can let go of his actions. At that time, he could unite Sun Ce and Zhang Ji to collectively go north and attack the Central Plains. In this way, it is not impossible to defeat my Yanzhou. Everyone gasped, although they knew that Cao Cao was difficult to deal with, they still didn't expect Cao Cao's appetite to reach this level.

Deng Ai said calmly: "Lord Mingjian, at that time, how will the Lord deal with it?" ”

Xu Ji smiled bitterly: "Of course I have no choice but to leave Chang'an and lead the troops back to the Central Plains." Because I should have found out that something was wrong with Xu Shu. If you don't go back, Yanzhou's will be lost. And Yanzhou is my roots. Deng Aihaha smiled and said, "I believe that the lord also understands that this is exactly what Cao Cao wants to see." In this way, Cao Cao will definitely take advantage of the time when the lord leaves Chang'an, transfers troops, and greatly reduces the strength of the Yanzhou army in Chang'an. In addition, there is Yu Ji, a magic stick, to create momentum for him. Isn't the lord taking care of the situation of one thing and the other? If you can't get Yanzhou Chang'an, you will lose it, so you can only stay away from the Central Plains and go straight to the north of Dezhou and Youzhou. It was necessary to settle down there for a long time, and to prevent harassment from the ethnic minorities in the north from time to time. Until then. The shape of the whole world has completely changed, and the lord has lost a lot of capital in the struggle for the world, confidence, military morale, resources, grain and grass, money, technology, prestige, and reform achievements, all of which are huge retrogressions. At that time, how can the lord say that he will dominate the world? When everyone in the room heard this, they were silent.

It was the first time that they understood in a real sense why Xu Ji listed Cao Cao as their number one rival, this person's wisdom and strategy were really terrifying.

But what surprised them even more was Deng Ai's talent, and at the moment just now, they seemed to see Guo Jia, who was far away in Bingzhou, standing in front of them...... No, this Deng Ai seems to be superior. Xu Ji was also shocked, although he already knew that Deng Ai's potential was very huge. But now when he really listened to Deng Ai's plan, Xu Ji knew exactly how terrifying Deng Ai's intelligence was. Letting Deng Ai get in touch with these in advance made his growth a little amazing. He may even be more feared than he has ever been.

And what is even more surprising is that this Deng Ai is filled with a powerful deterrent power, which makes people can't help but believe what he says. And he believes that the development of the situation will definitely develop according to Deng Ai's expectations. Of course, this is also a good thing, but it is not good because it takes a long time. People will rely too much on Deng Ai, just like Zhuge Kongming in history, as long as Deng Ai comes up with an idea, no one is willing to use his brain, and in the matter of appointing Ma Jian back then, it was obviously Zhuge Liang's mistake in employing people, but no one said anything to stop it, as if he would never make any mistakes. Deng Ai may also embark on such a path, which is what Xu Ji is worried about.

Thinking of this, Xu Ji decided to think of a way to change this situation, so as to avoid future generations from making similar mistakes when following Deng Ai to do things. Once everything is put on Deng Ai, Deng Ai himself will collapse in the end.

But that was for later, and for now, Xu Ji couldn't help but praise Deng Ai.

Everyone also admired, but Deng Ai, a little adult, was very modest.

Xu Ji looked at Deng Ai and said with a smile: "You have said everything, so will the plan be released?" Deng Ai's military division? "Everyone was amazed.

Deng Ai's little face turned red: "Uncle... Uncle, don't fool me. Deng Ai was anxious and couldn't help but call Xu Ji by his private name.

After a pause, Deng Aicai said: "The best way is, of course, to plan the plan, and ask General Zhang Xiu and General Zhang Ji to pretend to gradually fall to Cao Cao and Wang Zifu's party." Cao Cao had the illusion that he had a winning ticket, and at the same time, the lord and Mr. Xu Shu also had to sacrifice, and Yin's hypocrisy and grievances. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, it doesn't matter if you sacrifice your body when necessary, and those who achieve great things are not informal." Xu Wei, who was silent on the side, said without hesitation: "But this is not a sacrifice, but it should be the dream of every normal man." ”

Zhang Hong, who was on the side, pushed Xu Wei angrily and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" It's like teaching bad kids. Xu Wei looked at Deng Ai and Zhuge Jin, who were a little fascinated on the side, and hurriedly said: "Don't listen to this, children, that person is a red face and a disaster, it is better to touch less, you see that the emperor in the palace is about the same age as you, and now he has learned badly, and he went to four at once." It won't be long before you're exhausted."

Xu Wei, who was talking endlessly, saw Xu Ji staring at him thinking about it, and shrank his head in fright. No more talking. Deng Ai and Zhuge Jin both looked back at Xu Ji, and Xu Ji showed displeasure on his face. Also a little frightened, Deng Ai hurriedly said: "In the future, we will develop as Cao Cao wants, in terms of the strategy of dealing with Cao Cao, I thought it would be divided into two steps, the first step is to recapture Xiapi, and the second step is to attack the Yangtze River defense line, and then attack Cao Cao on both sides after capturing Yizhou and Jingzhou." ”

Xu Ji was stunned when he heard this: Isn't this the so-called strategic defense and strategic counteroffensive? Deng Ai analyzed: "Once the lord sends Mr. Xu Shu back to the Central Plains, then Cao Cao will start a war, and we can make Mr. Xu Shu pretend to surrender to Cao Cao at that time." In this way, the Jingzhou army will join forces with Cao Mengde, and General Zhang Ji can open the door of convenience, let the Jingzhou army in, and then cut off its back road, and Mr. Xu Shu will then rescue Xuzhou, and Mr. Yu will attack Cao Ren. As for the Jingzhou army, it was naturally the lord who led the army to meet the attack. ”

It took a long time for everyone to understand what Deng Ai meant. He wanted to fight back after Cao Cao was completely fooled. "As for Chang'an," Deng Ai took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "That's easy to say." With Mr. Tian Feng and Mr. Jia Xu, what is the Eighth Captain of Xiyuan and Lu Bu? What's more, Lu Bu obeyed Mr. Jia Xu's words, and in the final analysis, it was not the grass on both sides of the wall. Didn't the lord always want to get rid of the prince and the others? This is the perfect opportunity. ”

Xu Ji nodded again and again when he heard this.

Deng Ai narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Once Chang'an is in our hands." That's a lot of things left to us. Xu Ji and Xun Yu smiled knowingly when they heard this, and of course they understood that Deng Ai meant that they could use this as an opportunity to abolish Liu Xie's position as emperor.

Don't say anything else. Liu Xie's greed for women and superstitious cults are the biggest truths, who made Liu Xie believe in Yu Ji so much, and married Ma Teng's daughter and Cao Cao's fake daughter?

Deng Ai sneered again: "Cao Cao's many things are indeed beautiful, if it weren't for the mystery discovered by the lord, anyone would have been hidden." Then Cao Cao's envoy Cheng Yu was patient in Chang'an to negotiate with the lord, didn't he just want to give the lord an illusion and make the lord think that he would not go to war with Yanzhou for a long time? Xu Ji couldn't help but admire again when he heard this.

Xu Ji didn't expect Cao Cao to send one of his most relied on strategists and a plan to stabilize the army, it seems that Cao Cao's chess move is indeed extremely beautiful, if it weren't for various coincidences, I am afraid that he would have fallen into Cao Cao's calculations.

Deng Ai had already finished talking about the thoughts in his heart, but the shock he gave everyone stayed in everyone's minds for a long time and could not be dispersed, especially the last words, which meant that the evening drum and morning bell, the reason why Cao Cao patiently talked about business with Xu Ji was just a delaying tactic.

Xun Yu gasped and said: "We really still underestimate Cao Cao, this person is very different from other princes, now that I think about it, Cao Cao should know my Yanzhou policy very well, it is precisely for this reason that Cao Cao can't fail to see that if we restore the economy, we will become stronger and stronger, and with his character, he will definitely not sit still." ”

Xu Ji said a little heavily: "Brother Wen Ruo's words are reasonable, Cao Cao is indeed different from others, although Sun Ce, Liu Bei, Ma Teng and others know the power of Yanzhou, but they are more focused on war, and naively think that as long as they are given a period of time, they will have the strength to compete with us, but Cao Cao is different, this person is proficient in internal and foreign affairs, politics and military affairs, and I am not his opponent alone, with his ability and insight, he naturally knows that the strength of my Yanzhou military is determined by the economy and politics." Therefore, if you want to compete with me for the length of a day, you must first destroy the economy of Yanzhou, the easiest way is, of course, to destroy, if you can capture Yanzhou, then the strength of our Yanzhou army will be greatly reduced, not to mention anything else, the weapons of the unified system of our Yanzhou army will appear in a situation of lack of success. Everyone nodded, naturally understanding the meaning of Xu Ji's words.

Xu Ji smiled bitterly in his heart: It seems that war is really one of the most powerful driving forces to promote science and technology and human ideology.

Destroy industrial bases, cut off energy, cut off enemy supply lines, and crush enemy productivity...... These things seem to have only been widely used during the Second World War. I didn't expect that in ancient China, a generation of heroes Cao Cao crossed the times. Military thinking has actually evolved to such a point. At this moment, Xu Ji already knew that now Cao Cao had surpassed Cao Cao in history and became a veritable military master.

When he was ready to use economic means to dominate the world, Cao Cao wanted to use lightning tactics to quickly destroy the strong foundation of Yanzhou, so as to make the strength of the Yanzhou army regress to the same level as the armies of other princes. The war has reached this stage. There may be only three people in the world who can understand what they and Cao Cao are doing, and it is impossible for others to understand that the war between Yanzhou and Jiangdong is no longer a competition on the battlefield, but a competition for the comprehensive strength behind the war, which is not only a competition of material and financial resources, but also a duel of talents.
