Chapter 25, there is a play in the play
In history, Xi Zhicai is actually a soy sauce player, not that he has no ability and no influence, but that he lived too short and died at a young age.
Xi Zhi was recommended to Cao Cao by Xun Yu, and was called a "planner" by the history books, that is, a confidential staff officer who gave advice. Later, he hung up, Cao Cao was very sad, and told Xun Yu that after the death of the drama Zhicai, I don't know who Lu Dao discussed things with, do you have anything else to recommend? So Xun Yu recommended Guo Jia.
Xun Yu recommended many celebrities to Cao Cao in his life, but why did he recommend Guo Jia after his death? It can be seen that these two are all the way...... Oh, it should be said, it's all the same type of strategist. Needless to say, Guo Jia's intelligence is top-notch, so of course Xi Zhicai will not be bad.
But because he died early, what role did he play in the rise of Cao Cao's group, there is not a word in the history books, and even his name is not complete - is Zhicai a name or a word? What exactly is the other half of the pull? Now it's Xun Zhiludao, it turns out that he is also in accordance with the habits of scholars in this era, and he has a single name, a single name is a "virtuous" word, and Zhicai is the word.
Shi Xun couldn't help but glance at Xi Xian Xi Zhicai again, and felt that this guy's appearance was also very ordinary, and his face was blue, and it was estimated that his health was not very good, and he was a bad man who died early. He didn't have time to observe Xi Xian carefully, and he had to spend his main energy on dealing with Cao Cao first, so he pointed his hand upward, thought about it, and changed it to face down - he wanted to say that Yuan Shao was here first, Yuan Shao was in the north, and according to the habits of the previous life, he should go north and south, but according to the habits of this era, he had to go north and south.
"Yuan Shao IV and the third duke, located in Hebei, this cannot compete with it for the time being. But he is fighting with Gongsun, the battle between Yu and Ji is difficult to end in five years, as long as Cao Gong temporarily makes a false and wronged snake, the Ji soldiers will not enter the Yan ......" paused, and Shi Xun temporarily added: "Yuan Benchu was scheming and indecisive, and his movements were slow, so there is no need to worry." ”
Cao Cao still bowed his head and groaned, not talking. Xi Xiancai stretched out his hand and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Shi Xun - I have to put Xuzhou at the end of the line, don't mess up my order: "Speaking of the West, Li Dao, Guo Yan, as well as Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Li Meng, Wang Fang, Jia Xu and other generations, are all Dong Zhuo's old generals, and their rank and Lu are similar, who is willing to condescend to their colleagues?" The wolves have no owner, and in time, there will be disputes, and when Cao Gong leads troops into Henan, he can reap the benefits of fishermen.
"Three said in the south, Yuan Highway stole Nanyang, the soldiers were small and the grain was small, and the reserves came from the river. And Liu Jingsheng has entered Yiyang, commanded the whole state, and has always been unfriendly with it, if he cuts off his grain, then how will Yuan Shu deal with himself? ”
Xi Xian guessed: "Or merge with it, or lead the army into Yan......"
"Not bad," Shi Xun continued to maintain that calm smile, and even felt that his cheeks were a little sour, so he had to take the opportunity to drink water to relieve himself a little, "If Yuan and Liu fight, Cao Gong can also keep the southern line worry-free; If Yuan Shu leads the army into Yan, there is no food reserves, and the security can last? It is not difficult to break it if it is consumed around it. ”
Speaking of this, he stopped talking and waited for Cao Cao to talk to Xi Xian. Sure enough, Xi Xian asked: "It is Mr. Shicai who said that Yanzhou is the place of the four wars, but it is not a contradiction to say that the three directions of north, west and south are not to worry?" Could it be that Tao Qian in the East is my family's enemy? ”
"Otherwise," Shi Xun shook his head, putting on the posture of a dog-headed military division, "In terms of the north, west, and south, there is nothing to worry about, but if Yuan Shu enters Yan, Tao Qian echoes it, then Yanzhou is in danger!" If Yanzhou is in danger, the Jizhou soldiers will inevitably go south, so as not to be annexed by Yuan Shu, and at that time, Cao Gong will also be in danger! The heart of the Kwantung region, so the chaos, Anzhi Xiliang Qunhao will not be divided into Henan, looking for opportunities to go east, when the time comes, Li Dao, Guo Yan each according to two Beijings, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji from Wancheng into Jing, Li Meng, Wang Fang from Yangwu into Yan, at that time, the Han world is also in danger! ”
This is a set of statements that he thought of before coming to Yanzhou, but now this set of statements has changed, and he has to shift the topic from Xu and Yanhezong to the lives of millions of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans and Guan Hai without a trace, so without waiting for Cao Cao and Xi Xian to react, Shi Xun suddenly made another turn: "Regardless of the future for the time being, that is, from the current point of view, the Xuzhou soldiers have occupied Hua and Fei, and they have gone deep into Rencheng, and the north and south are like pincers, threatening the heart." If Cao Gong can't solve the problem of Qingzhou Yellow Turban as soon as possible, I'm afraid that before the end of the year, Zang Ba will go from Mount Tai to Jibei, and Cao Bao will go from Daye to Jiyin, and Yuan Shu will also echo it, leaving Chen State and staying in Chen - not stopping Yanzhou, I am afraid that Cao Gong wants to retreat to Dongjun and cannot get it. Therefore, it was Xun Cai who came to hang Cao Gong. ”
Cao Cao's face sank like water, but he slowly lowered his right hand holding his beard, and asked for the first time during the conversation: "The Qingzhou Yellow Turban is already under siege, and it will be exterminated in a few days." When the time comes, the victorious army will expel Zang Ba and Cao Bao, and then make a general guard Yongqiu, so as to stop Yuan Shu's road to the north - what are you worried about? ”
Shi Xun shook his head lightly: "How easy is it to talk about - may I ask Cao Gong, if the millions of yellow turbans do not surrender, they will be killed, how much time will it take?" How many soldiers were damaged? Occasionally, it slips through the net and spreads all over the wilderness, how long will it take to wipe it out? In an instant, it will be the next year, Yanzhou has been in the army for a long time, there is no one in ten, most of the fields are abandoned, and when there is no food, what will be used to expel Zang Ba and Cao Bao, and block Yuan Shu? ”
Xi Xian frowned slightly: "What can I do?" ”
Oh, it's time to finally flop. It was Xun Wangxian who looked at Xixian and Cao Cao, trying his best to capture even the slightest expression on the faces of the two - well, they didn't have any shock, they must have a certain understanding and analysis of the surrounding situation, but they probably didn't have as systematic as they did. Shi Xun can see it now, but there is a faint look of expectation on the faces of the two, as if they are listening to the book and hearing Ken Jie'er, hoping that the storyteller will quickly solve the mystery and not wait for the next day. Think about it, you also know that if you can't turn it all over at the last moment, why are you burying so much foreshadowing? Is it just to give a total annihilation ending? It's not Tanaka Okami......
The more they looked forward to it, the more Xun wanted to sell Guanzi, but the role had to be done enough, but it couldn't be too much, so they glanced left and right a few times, pretended to drink a sip of water, and then stretched out two fingers, and finally revealed the mystery: "It's a certain insensitivity, there is just a plan here, which can make millions of yellow scarves become good citizens in an instant, thousands of miles to Yanzhou, and a year to turn into fertile soil - but Cao Gong must follow a certain matter." ”
The following saliva work is simple, Cao Cao or Xi Xian must ask: "Which one is it?" Yes Xun said that Guan Hai's life must be spared, and then "Woo Woo" put the argument on the table, saying that if you refuse to let go of your mouth for a day, the yellow scarf will not fall for a day, and eventually it will be a lose-lose situation, and then the various crises I mentioned earlier will erupt together, Cao Cao, what should you do? Cao Cao may hesitate, may talk about the conditions again, and then when the thesis is finished, Shi Xun can still offer another plan to deepen Cao Cao's impression and good impression of himself, and then put forward the second topic of Xu and Yanhezong later.
He thought it was quite beautiful, but he suddenly heard Cao Cao on the seat looking up to the sky and laughing: "Wow, haha~~" It's Xun who was blinded - Cao Cao, what are you doing here? I'm here to persuade you, alas, and it's not you looking for me to deceive me, so what kind of trouble is the atmosphere of "but laughing at Huang Gong and not knowing people's ears"?
Immediately, he "chuckled" in his heart, and his heart said that it was going to be bad.
As a generation of heroes, whether it is Cao Cao or Liu Bei, they are all strong men with deep acting talents, they have always thought about one thing, said one thing, and done another, and it is likely that they will not be next to each other, so that others can't figure out what the plan is. If you don't have these two brushes, you can't hold things in your heart, just someone took out your wallet is like a mourner, thinking about kicking the widow's door will be lewd, all your thoughts are written on your face, how can anyone be willing to follow you to fight the world?
However, the scheming of these two is deep, and there is some difference. Liu Bei is a real "joy and anger is not good", always with a face that makes a report, which makes people feel that they are always great, not like a living person but like a god - this is Xun didn't see it, and went back to the plain to move the rescuers, Liu Bei said, "Even Kong Beihai knows where I am in the world", he looked very happy, probably because he entered the industry, and his acting skills have not yet been honed. Cao Cao is the opposite of Liu Bei, he smiles and laughs, seems to put everything on his face, and is very exaggerated, when he is happy, he can dip his whole face into a vegetable pot, and when he is sad, he can hold his friend's tombstone and cry bitterly...... Of course, whether he is really happy or sad, then no one knows.
To put it bluntly, Liu Bei is a gangster film in Beiyewu, no expression is the best expression, Cao Cao is acting in Stephen Chow's comedy, I'm not afraid that your expression and action are exaggerated, I'm afraid that you won't let go enough.
But after Da Cong Shixun entered Cao Ying, after seeing Cao Cao, Cao Cao's face sank like water, and it was rare to show a little smile or suspicion, which was very different from the records in the history books. Shi Xun didn't pay attention at first, but when Cao Cao began to laugh insolently, he suddenly understood: It turns out that you have been acting, and you have not really been led by my nose! I rely on you to act in nonsensical comedies, and when will I sell myself to Takeshi Kitano!
He couldn't help but feel the cold sweat coming down his back - he could smell the bad smell of himself after the cold sweat on both ends in the last three days, and he didn't have much opportunity to wash his clothes while walking on the road......
Cao Cao smiled and was almost out of breath, and finally restrained a little, stretched out his hand, and with a "bang", he slapped a few cases heavily, and it was Xun Xun's heart and his liver plopped, as if he was about to jump out of the cavity.
"Good!" Cao Cao's voice was no lower than the voice of filming a few cases, and he was so frightened that Shixun almost didn't bounce off the seat, "It's Hongfu who said that he would retire a million yellow scarves." As he spoke, he pointed at Shixun with his hand: "I want you to say that you can retire the yellow scarf under Duchang City and save Kong Wenju, you must be in collusion with the old Guanhai. Or do you want me to spare Guan Hai's life? You also used to read the books of sages, and even befriended bandits, betrayed the country, and even made clever words to intimidate you. Could it be that you think that Cao's sword is unfavorable? Or do you think that Cao will not dare to kill you? ! ”
As soon as the word "kill" came out, he was so frightened that Xun is three souls lost two souls, and seven souls flew six. Cao Cao, this guy is indeed very imposing, he raised his eyebrows at the moment, and his eyes were snuggled - I didn't expect that pair of squinted eyes could be as big as a quail egg - and reprimanded, and the voice was so high that it was deafening, it was estimated that it could be heard from three miles away, and it was as if a sledgehammer had been smashed on the head, and there was a "buzz" in his head, and he couldn't think of anything at the moment, and he couldn't say anything.
Cao Cao slapped the table, scolded the people, and paused deliberately, as if Xun had a good taste of his majesty. Seeing that Shixun didn't reply, he immediately beckoned to the guards: "Come on, tie up this rebellious maniac, push the general out of the road, and behead the gate!" ”
