Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao must have a fight, anyone with a discerning eye can see it, don't look at these two friends now fighting back to back, but secretly kicking the stumbling foot is not once or twice, when one of them transcribes his hand, he will immediately turn his face ruthlessly, and the swords and soldiers will meet each other.
Shixun has taken sick leave for the past two days and has nothing to do, one is to improve the map that he has drawn since Xu Du, and the other is to play with his own chess pieces. He simulated the situation in the Central Plains before the Battle of Guandu in the original history, when Yuan Shao basically occupied the four prefectures of Hebei, Qing, You, and Youzhou (excluding the Liaodong region of Gongsun Du), as far as the current situation is concerned, this situation is unlikely to change, and it may also have more than half of Xuzhou Langxie County occupied by Liu Bei in the original history.
And what about Cao Cao? In history, Cao Cao, Xu and Yanzhou before Guandu were stable, and the Runan area of Yuzhou was still unstable, so Liu Bei instigated Liu Pi and Gongdu to rebel, Huainan and Wancheng were also taken, in addition to many Henan and Jingzhao......
Yes? I think I've already drawn a lot of territory for Cao Cao, how can I see that it's similar to the original history? Thinking about it again, at this time, Yuan Shao had not really been able to destroy Gongsun Zhan, and the battle of Guandu in the original history had to break out four years later. In other words, if you want to make Guandu change the situation, Cao Qiang and Yuan are weak, you have to take advantage of the past four years to help Cao Cao continue to expand and stabilize the territory!
So he analyzed Cao Cao at this time, saying that if we got into a battle with Sun Ce, we wouldn't be able to swallow Jiangdong in one go, but it would involve energy, sit and watch Yuan Shao grow, anyway, Yuan Shu wouldn't be able to turn over, so it was better to let it go first, let's go and seek other territories first-in fact, his original idea was to destroy Yuan Shu first, and then talk about it with Sun Planning Jiang Erzhi. But since Xun You and Guo Jia both persuaded Cao Cao to withdraw from the army, then forget it, I won't have any demon moths.
Cao Cao nodded: "In this way, it is better to temporarily withdraw the army - if Yuan Shu cannot be recovered, a general is needed to guard Shouchun." What do you think of Taishi Ziyi? "Yes Xun said that Ziyi is very capable of fighting, but he is short of it in terms of governance. Cao Cao pondered for a moment: "When he went on the expedition, Wen Ruo recommended Jingzhao Yan Wen to be the assassin of Yangzhou, and succeeded Liu Zhengli (Liu Xuan), what did Qing think?" ā
Shi Xun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and quickly searched his head. Yan Wenze, Yan Wenze...... Oh, the elephant. So he shook his head slightly: "Yan Wen is in Henan, and he doesn't know the customs and people of Huainan, so I am afraid it will be difficult to bear this important responsibility." Xun recommended a person, in the same county as the lord, and it is said that he took refuge in Huainan. If this person is found, it can be the history of Yangzhou. ā
Cao Cao frowned and asked, "I don't know anyone?" ā
"Liu Yuanying of Pei Guoxiang County."
Liu Yuanying is famous and also a famous person in Yuzhou. In the original history, Cao Cao first listened to Xun Yu's recommendation and appointed Cheng Yanxiang as the assassin of Yangzhou in the imperial history of the overseer, but after a short time, he was attacked and killed by Sun Ce's Lujiang Taishou Li Shu. Immediately, Mei Gan, Lei Xu, Chen Lan and others made a mess, which made Huainan a mess, and even directly affected Cao Cao's confrontation with Yuan Shao in the north. Prior to this, Liu Fu, who had taken refuge in Huainan, persuaded Yuan Shubu to surrender Qi Ji and Qin Yi to Cao Cao and was appointed as a subordinate of Situ Fu, so Cao Cao sent Liu Fu to succeed him as the assassin of Yangzhou to clean up the mess in the south.
Liu Yuanying rode into Hefei alone, appeased Lei Xu and others, and quickly stabilized the situation. The people are happy with their government, and the number of displaced people who have returned from across the rivers and mountains is tens of thousands." And he also stored a large number of wood and stone, straw, fish paste and other city guard utensils in Hefei City, and after a few years, Sun Quan led an army of 100,000 to besiege Hefei, and he was unable to break the city - that is not only the credit of Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan.
Of course, this does not mean that Liu Fu is better than Yan Xiang. There are many accidental factors in people's life and death, and their victory or defeat. But Shi Xun felt that since Liu Fu was very effective in guarding Huainan in the original history, it means that he has this talent, Yan Xiang did not defend it, and his ability is between the two, since this is the case, let's just skip Yan Xiang and carry Liu Fu out directly. It is said that Xun Wenruo recommended a lot of talents to Cao Cao, in the original history, only Yan Xiang and Wei Kang were defeated and died, which is not competent - I am also to save Yan Xiang's life, and to save Xun Yu's name as a confidant, it's a pity that those two will not be grateful to me for this, I am really an unsung hero who does not hope to repay his kindness......
Cao Cao listened to Shi Xun's recommendation, muttered for a while, and then nodded: "I will send someone to find Liu Yuanying, and I will make arrangements after I see him." Then he asked Shixun: "If you return to the teacher here, what will you take?" "Where are we going to fight next?
It's Xun Yi pointing to the map, Henan is still an open space, we have to hurry up and occupy it. In the original history, two years later, Duan Xuan led the army to the west and killed Li Wei (Guo Yan had been killed by the general Wu Xi before), Cao Cao extended his power to the west, and finally sent Wei Qi, Zhong Xuan and others to pacify Guanxi and capture Ma Teng. Now that there is a Lu Bu in Hedong, Cao Cao's westward advance may be subject to some resistance, and if he doesn't do it, I'm afraid it will be too late.
Shi Xun has been playing chess according to the map for the past two days, and he feels that Cao Cao really can't get more games - is he really going to fight with Sun Ce or Liu Biao? Those two forces are quite big, if there is no right time, it will not be able to come down in a year or two, Yuan Shao is still eyeing the north, who dares to fall into this quagmire. Therefore, only when Yuan Shao was still attacking Gongsun Zhan, he hurriedly took down Cao Cao's Henan and Jingzhao territories in the original history, hoping to stabilize and develop a few years earlier than in history, which can invisibly enhance his strength.
So he built yƬ Cao Cao hurriedly went to take Henan: "Zhang Xiu is in Wan, you can contain Liu Biao, Lu Bu is in Anyi, you can contain Zhang Yang, and at this time you should take advantage of Henan and Hongnong, and resume production in order to Guanxi." If Kansai is obtained, then Lu Bu, Zhang Yang, etc. are not enough to worry about. In fact, what he thought in his heart was that Zhang Yang was really not enough to worry about, Lu Bu said otherwise...... Let's take one step at a time.
Then Xun said to Cao Cao again: "Wei Boru or Zhong Yuanchang can be made to go to Henan first, and the governor Lu Bu and Duan Xuan will enter the pass first, and our army will take advantage of the situation to advance - after the Guanxi is reached, Lu Bu will be sent to the state (and state), so that Yuan Shao can win." "Anyway, in the original history, it was Wei Qi and Zhong Xuan who were in the Guanzhong, and now let them go to Henan first, and then go to Guanxi, they should be able to bear this burden.
Shi Xun said, Cao Cao nodded, and suddenly asked: "I originally wanted to pacify Yuan after the operation, so that Hong Funan said that Sun Ce will retire today." should also be Fu'an Jiangdong - I don't know if Qing can make the trip? "It's Xun Xin who said you're really anxious...... I'm like this, why do you still use me as an animal, you boss Cao doesn't have a little bit of heart! But forget it, it is estimated that this trip to Jiangdong will not be able to run, but it is just ...... I need to be ready for anything. Don't be accidentally slaughtered by the "little overlord".
So it was Xun who smiled slightly bitterly and stretched out his hand to point at his buttocks: "The lord has a life, Xun Yan dares to disobey?" However, the injury has not healed, and it may be difficult to go away - in fact, there is no need to rush. If you want to make the south, there are three things that you must ask the Lord forbid. ā
Cao Cao said you say, I can do it. I will definitely agree. So Xun said: "Xun can be the messenger of the Son of Heaven, not the envoy of the commonplace...... he wants to hang the name of an angel, it is estimated that even if Sun Ce hates himself, he will not be able to do it, but he was only halfway through the words, and suddenly stopped. Look up at the sky and be thoughtful.
Cao Cao asked Hongfu, what are you thinking? Shi Xun suddenly pouted and smiled, and said, "Xun has a text, which will be dedicated to the lord, please wait for a while." ā
Shixun suddenly remembered a clever plan, so he dipped his pen in ink and wrote a book on the desk. Cao Cao had no choice but to wait with the side. I took the opportunity to continue to enjoy the map, and the more I looked at it, the more I liked it, and I said that even if it was ten sets of ivory and rhino horn chess pieces, in my opinion, it was not as precious as this map.
The time was not long, it was Xun who finished writing the article and handed it to Cao Cao. Cao Cao unfolded it and took a look, only to see that it was written:
"Now the four seas are in turmoil, and the states and counties have raised their own troops, so that the conscripts are exhausted. It's hard to get rid of it. He also had bad generals, was arrested for fate, invaded Li Shu, and shook the city. Countering violence with violence, violence is getting louder and louder. How is it different from holding a salary to put out a fire and fan the soup to stop the boiling? Even the smoke and dust cover the wilderness, the people are in exile, the captives are rampant, the roads are difficult, the children are abandoned in the ravines, and the white hair is not the same as the black head, don't you hear it and regret it?! That is, if you want to be educated from today, the mistakes of those who repent of the past are also because of the troubles of the soldiers, the sharp edges all over the field, and even the will, fearing that the dynasty will be disbanded and become prisoners at night, so the troops are blocked and do not dare to disperse. Because of the arrival of the edict, the prefectures and counties of the prefecture dismissed the soldiers, and also pro-Nongsang, but left the officials to support the people. The Lile expedition is all from the Son of Heaven, and the state and county are not allowed to specialize. Comfort from far and near, salty makes you know. ā
After Cao Cao read this article, he couldn't help but be confused and asked, "What does Hongfu mean by this?" Shi Xun smiled indifferently with confidence: "This "Lingzhou County Temporary Strike Edict" is also. ā
In "Three Kingdoms? In the Biography of Tao Qian, he once quoted the record of "Book of Wu", saying that after Cao Song was killed, Cao Cao blamed Tao Qian and wanted to raise troops to fight, but he was afraid that Xuzhou would be strong, so he issued such an edict to ask Tao Qian to disperse the soldiers and horses first, Tao Qian of course refused to agree, and wrote to defend himself. After Pei Songzhi quoted this article, he directly pointed out that this matter was not true. Why? Because when Cao Cao attacked Tao Qian, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was still in Chang'an, Cao Cao was just a state assassin history, what qualifications did he have to issue an edict on behalf of the Son of Heaven, or what ability did he have to ask the Son of Heaven to issue an edict to Tao Qian to dismiss the army?
In fact, Pei Songzhi's words were not completely stated, not only was the time incompatible, but also if this edict was issued before the attack on Xuzhou, it would not make sense logically at all. At that time, Tao Qian was a prince all the way, and Cao Cao was also a prince all the way, if he issued an edict to strike the army, theoretically both Tao Qian and Cao Cao had to obey, how could Cao Cao take the edict to ask others to dismiss the soldiers and horses, but he refused to take care of it? And even if Tao Qian respects the court again, he will not tie his hands and feet for this empty edict, Cao Cao is stupid? Is it meaningful to play this handiwork?
Yes Xun is in favor of Pei Songzhi's judgment, and since he arrived in Cao Cao's curtain, he has been in contact with a lot of official documents, and later entered the court as a councilor, and most of the edicts issued by the imperial court over the years have also been read, there is indeed no such one, it is estimated that it was forged by later generations, or it was issued after Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven in the original history. Therefore, he now made this article in advance and handed it to Cao Cao, of course, the intention was not as simple as bluffing Tao Qian or any other prince to disband the soldiers and horses - there was no way that kind of stupid uncle would really obey the edict!
