"Ziheng, asking for names, requesting appointments, and letters of appointment are still handled by Ziheng to assist the housekeeper in the house. I don't know what Ziheng wants? Cao Cao was very happy to see that his son did not lose the face of the Cao family, and the matter of getting married was quickly settled, and he also showed the world that Lao Cao was not alone!

"Don't worry, Lord Sikong, tomorrow Fan will take care of everything and visit Sikong Mansion again."

"There is Lao Ziheng!" Cao Cao nodded, signaling that the banquet could continue.

At night, Cao Cao came to Cao Pi's bedroom, Cao Pi was not lightly injured today, he was hit twice by the tiger, and he survived until the end of the competition, without losing the face of the Cao family, Cao Cao was quite pleased.

"Zihuan?" Cao Cao came to Cao Pi's bed and glanced at Cao Pi.

"Father!" Cao Pi was about to get up.

"Zihuan doesn't need to be polite, the father just came to see you!" Cao Cao took Cao Ang, Lu Rui and a group of Cao family boys to visit Cao Pi.

"Father, child?"

"Zihuan doesn't need to say much, fighting the tiger with bare hands is just force, my Cao family children must not only have force, but also intelligence, Zihuan's perseverance impresses his father, Zihuan did a good job!" Cao Cao smiled and nodded, the most important thing for the Cao family to have perseverance in the future, people without perseverance are no matter how talented they are, no matter how strong their martial arts are, they are only imaginary.

"Thank you, father, the child must recover from his injuries as soon as possible and make more contributions to the Cao family!"

"Zihuan has a heart, let's have a good rest." Then Cao Ang and Lu Rui greeted Cao Pi one after another, and Cao Cao confessed a few words and took people away.

In Cao Cao's study, Guo Jia. Xun Yu. Lu Rui sat in the second seat.

"Bong Filial Piety. Gongda, extraordinary, this is Yuanlong's policy of Pingjiangdong, look at it! After speaking, Cao Cao asked the three of them to circulate Chen Deng's strategy.

Chen Deng's strategy clearly spelled out the strategy and tactics of how to pacify Jiangdong.

The Jiangdong strategy can use surprise attacks as the first priority, and first seize the prefectures and counties around the Lujiang River. After attracting the main force of the Gangto Army, he then sent people to land from Kure County and raid Gangdong.

In terms of tactics, Cao Zhang's marriage can be used. Explore the terrain of Jiangdong, as well as military deployments.

"Bonghyo, what do you think?" When Cao Cao saw Chen Deng's strategy, his heart wavered, did he want to pacify Jiangdong first?

"Lord Qi, Yuanlong's plan is very good, Jia seconded it!"

"Gongda?" Cao Cao glanced at Xun You.

"Lord, my subordinates think that although Yuan Shao's vitality is injured, he is still the overlord of Hebei, if we don't take advantage of the victory to pursue. I am afraid that Yuan Shao will recover his vitality, and it will be difficult for our army to win the Northern Expedition. Xun You supported Cao Cao's Northern Expedition. Take advantage of his illness to kill him!

"Oh?" Cao Cao heard a different opinion.

"Extraordinary, what do you think?" Cao Cao turned his head and asked Lu Rui again.

After reading Chen Deng's strategy, Lu Rui's head was spinning at high speed. In history, Cao Cao lamented Chen Deng's early death, and there were two points that Cao Cao regretted, the first was Chen Deng's plan to build a new Hefei city. The second is Chen Deng's strategy of raiding Jiangdong in his early years.

There are very few relevant historical materials recorded in history, and Chen Deng's raid strategy is not exhaustive, after all, this is just a secret report, and the historian can't grasp it, only Cao Cao regrets it, and others know about it!

Lu Rui once studied the reasons why Cao Cao regretted it. From 200 A.D. to the Battle of Chibi, it was the period of growth of Soochow. From a Jiangdong warlord who was dependent on Cao Wei, Eastern Wu became the overlord of the southeast. Zhou Yu's Poyang Lake Sailor was there, and some of the Shanyue tribesmen were subdued and incorporated into the Jiangdong Army. The family is also divided. And now, Jiangdong is embattled, Zhou Yu's sailors can't even beat Huang Zu, and Shanyue bullies Sun Quan is newcomer and harasses Jiangdong from time to time. The Jiangdong family is just watching the fire from the other side and watching Sun Quan's jokes.

"Extraordinary?" Cao Cao saw that Lu Rui was stunned, and called Lu Rui again.

"Lord, I think we should adopt Yuanlong's strategy, move the army south, first pacify Liu Bei in Yuzhou, and then occupy Jiangdong!" Lu Rui thought in his heart that Sun Quan's threat was greater than Yuan Shao's, and he would kill Sun Quan!

"Oh? Do you think that you should take Jiangdong first? ”

"Yes, my lord!" Then Lu Rui said his thoughts, now all the princes in the world, only Sun Quan is the new leader of Jiangdong, the foundation is unstable, and the rest of the princes have at least operated their own territory for more than ten years, with a strong foundation and are not easy to deal with.

"Well, what you say has a point." Cao Cao nodded, Yuan Shao is sick, Sun Quan is also sick, but Yuan Shao's family background is thick, Sun Quan's family background is not thick, and you have to find a soft pinch to pinch persimmons!

"Gongda?" Cao Cao felt that Lu Rui's words made sense, and asked Xun Yu again, after all, this is a big deal, and the ministers can't get recognition, so it's not always good.

"My lord, it is reasonable to be extraordinary and filial piety, but Yuan Shao has always been the biggest threat to our army, if the lord goes south, Yuan Shao is waiting for an opportunity to retaliate, and our army is afraid that the strength of the south is limited, and it is difficult to win Jiangdong." Xun You's meaning is very clear, Lao Cao wants to attack Jiangdong, it is impossible to attack with all his strength, the nest of the Central Plains cannot be lost, now is not the time when Lu Bu raided, lost the Central Plains, Lao Cao is going to drink the northwest wind!

When Lu Rui heard this, he smiled in his heart, there is another reason why Cao Cao regretted it in history, Cao Cao didn't know that Yuan Shao would burp so quickly, and then the three sons engaged in group fights, and the north became a pot of porridge. The Northern Expedition, which seemed difficult, became easier, coupled with the rise of Sun Quan in Jiangdong, which made Cao Cao regret it, and he knew that he would engage in Jiangdong first, not Hebei!

For Lu Rui, who is familiar with history, whether his butterfly effect will affect Yuan Shao's lifespan, Lu Rui does not know. But if Yuan Shao really died early in history, then a raid on Jiangdong is the best choice, if Yuan Shao does not die, it will be difficult to organize a large army to go south in a short time, weigh the pros and cons, and kill Sun Quan!

"Lord, what Mr. Xun said is reasonable, but the lord Yuan Shao made a fatal mistake, let the three sons and one nephew master the land of Sizhou, if Yuan Shao dies, the four sons will have a fight, and then Hebei will be in chaos, which is the best time for our army to march into Hebei."

"After the battle of Yuan Shaoguandu, the vitality has been injured, and it is difficult to organize a large army to go south in a short period of time.

Yuan Shao is not as good as Cao Cao, that is, political power! Yuan Shao let the fourth son control the military and political power of the four states, Yuan Shao is in power, but if Yuan Shao burps. The four of them have to come out to divide the family property, and the sons of ordinary people are still fighting for their heads and blood, not to mention the four state pastors who have soldiers and food? Cao Cao learned the lesson of Yuan Shao when he treated his son, and Cao Zhang, who was the most capable of fighting, only asked him to lead his troops to follow Xu Huang to fight soy sauce. Managing the army and not taking charge of political affairs is the way to balance!

"Gongda?" Cao Cao glanced at Xun You again, Lu Rui made sense, smart people know what Lu Rui is referring to, Yuan Shao's three sons will live in peace? No way!

"What the Lord said is reasonable, if the lord insists on the southern expedition, then it is important to think that the lord can follow Jing Ke's actions and assassinate Sun Quan!" Xun You is not a stupid person, Lao Cao has asked again and again, which shows that the balance in Lao Cao's heart is already inclined to crusade against Jiangdong, so Xun You's task is to make suggestions.

"Oh?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, Xun You actually offered this strategy and used an assassin to kill Sun Quan? If it succeeded, Jiangdong was really depressed, and the two lords were killed by the assassins.

"My lord, after Sun Ce was assassinated, Sun Quan must have strengthened his defense against the assassins. It is assumed that our army will not use Assassins for assassination. Our army can do the opposite, even if it can't succeed, it can deter Sun Quan! "Xun Yu is scheming, and he already has a series of ways to deal with Jiangdong in his heart.

"The strategy of going south is thus decided, Fengxiao, you personally return to Xuzhou, and prepare a surprise attack on Jiangdong with Yuanlong. As for the other details, we will decide on a later date. ”

"Yes, my lord!"

"Okay, Fengxiao and Gongda will go down first, and Bufan will stay!"

"Yes!"

"Middle Father?" After the two left, Lu Rui glanced at Cao Cao, leaving Lu Rui down is a family matter, or a heart matter, a state matter, and others must participate.

"Extraordinary, you and Feng Xiao both think that Sun Quan is a big disaster for our army in the future, I hope you don't make a mistake, the middle father was wrong once, and I don't want to be wrong again."

"Middle Father?"

"Extraordinary, the middle father thought that he was inferior to the middle father at the beginning, he was ambitious and talented, and he was indecisive, but now the original foundation is stronger than the middle father, and the middle father is wrong."

I know that Shaozhi is a person, ambitious and wise, strong and timid, jealous and less powerful, many soldiers and unclear, arrogant and inconsistent government orders, although the land is wide, although the food is abundant, it is enough for me to serve also. As for Yuan Shao's base in Hebei, the army was strong, and he was invincible by himself.

Lu Rui remembered a famous quote of Cao Cao in history, originally Lao Cao looked down on Yuan Shao, but after Yuan Shao had a foundation in Hebei, Cao Cao changed, Yuan Shao is also level, and he is probably not Yuan Shao's opponent.

"Middle Father?"

"Extraordinary, in two years, you will marry Jie'er, if I can't succeed in my great career, my family will rely on extraordinary care!" Cao Cao knew that he had made a big decision, it was another gamble, and if he lost, it would be glorious again!

"Yes, Father! The child will definitely take good care of the Cao family! (To be continued......)
