Liu Bei's mind is difficult to change, in fact, Liu Bei is also a very stubborn person, otherwise how could he be an immortal Xiaoqiang who has been defeated and defeated repeatedly!

Therefore, writing to Zhuge Jin and Pang Yuan to inquire is just a formality, as well as a measure to improve their own plans, Zhuge Jin, who is familiar with Liu Bei, and Pang Yuan, who is more familiar with Liu Bei, both understand that Liu Bei's determination has been made, and the remaining thing is how to make things develop in the direction of their own favor as much as possible.

In fact, in this case, it is not a big deal to lose Si Li, Si Li is a place of four wars, it was a bit risky to take it at the beginning, and it is not easy to maintain, and now it is like a big fat meat stared at by a group of wolves, and the side effect is that Liu Bei has also become a thorn in the side of this group of wolves.

If you give up Si Li, you will certainly lose a large piece of territory, and even lose a lot of population and prestige, but you will also avoid the bad situation of becoming the target of public criticism, in fact, Pang Yuan and Zhuge Jin both believe that the goal should be to the west, not the north.

Therefore, for Liu Bei's inquiry, both of them cooperated to support it and put forward their own suggestions for improvement, Liu Bei was naturally very satisfied and in a much better mood.

In Cao Cao's camp under Yingyin City, Cao Cao was also paying attention to Liu Bei's possible reaction, what Chen Zhen could think of, Cao Cao could naturally think of, not to mention, there was no shortage of strategists around Cao Cao, and the reborn Xi Zhicai had also returned to Cao Cao's side.

After being reborn, Xi Zhicai's body has improved a lot, at least the chronic disease has been eliminated, but at the cost of all skill levels being reduced to zero, and some of the skills he has learned have even been washed away directly. But fortunately, it is only the skill level that is lost, not the ingenuity and experience of the person, and with these, the skill level will soon be returned.

Cao Cao stared at the information on the table. This is a summary of information, which was sorted out by Yan Xiang, and now these transactional things, with Yan Xiang helping Xi Zhicai to share, although Xi Zhicai has a little less experience, but it is beneficial to his body, and his chronic illness is removed, but not only does his physique improve. If you work hard for a long time, you will inevitably repeat the mistakes of the past.

The tent was quiet, and even the roar of trebuchets could be heard in the distance, accompanied by the shouts and cheers of the soldiers from time to time, and these sounds entered the tent and became a little ethereal. It seems that none of the wars and killings are real, but just an illusion.

After a long time, Cao Cao exhaled, raised his gaze from the countertop, stroked his beard and smiled, and glanced at Yan Xiang. Then he turned to Xi Zhicai and said, "Zhicai, have you read this information?" ”

"My subordinates have already seen it, Lord 1

"And what do you think?"

Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao and smiled: "I agree with the lord's opinion." ”

Cao Cao smiled: "I didn't say what I thought, how can Zhicai know it?" ”

The lord showed a relaxed smile, indicating that the lord also thought that Xuchang was available, and Yingchuan was determined1

"Hehe, he deserves to be a talent! Yes, I thought that Liu Bei had already risen, and Yingchuan would not be able to go down in a few days

Yan Xiang frowned a little puzzled and said, "Lord." Liu Bei can go, or he can transfer troops back to Jingzhou appropriately, just guard against Liu Yan, and he may not give up Yingchuan directly? The city of Xuchang is high, even if only Wei Yan's army holds on, our army is afraid that it will be difficult to get down quickly1

"Hehe, this doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether Xuchang is down or not, as long as Liu Bei dares to draw troops from the Yingchuan battlefield into Jingzhou, then we can take advantage of the situation to settle Dingling, Yingyang and even Yangzhai, and Yingchuan will be our army's at that time. Xuchang is only a matter of time1

Xi Zhicai patiently explained, Cao Cao stroked his beard and nodded, squinting his little eyes with a somewhat smug look.

"Next, the goal of our army is to take Runan in the south and attack Yin in Henan in the north."

Xi Zhicai shook his head and immediately interrupted Cao Cao's obscenity: "Lord, do you really want to join the division?" ”

"Huh? Why can't I join the division? ”

Xi Zhicai smiled and asked: "Why did the lord join the division?" ”

"This is naturally to sweep the world away1

"But does the subordinate have someone who needs to be swept away?"

Cao Cao was stunned! Object? Does the subordinate have anyone who needs to be cleared? If not, then what will you get if you get a subordinate? Population? Site? And the heroes around you!

Yan Xiang glanced at Xi Zhicai in surprise, on the one hand, he was a little surprised by Xi Zhicai's boldness, on the other hand, he was surprised by Xi Zhicai's calm and sharp eyes, at this time, Xi Zhicai was not immersed in the joy of the upcoming victory, but clearly saw the future road.

No wonder Cao Cao regards Xi Zhicai as his right-hand man, this Xi Zhicai is definitely a rare top talent, and an important existence that can help Cao Cao avoid making mistakes.

Cao Cao didn't like it on his face, but silently pondered Xi Zhicai's words, and then nodded and said: "What Zhicai said is extremely true, Si Li doesn't have the object we need to sweep away, so won't we enter Si Li?" ”

Xi Zhicai said: "Lord, Si Li is like a fighting arena made by aliens, throughout the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Si Li is here for you to sing and I will appear, it can be described as a good show!" It's just that these people who come here to sing opera, but you come and go, each leading the way for a year or two, hehe, I don't see it for a long time1

Cao Cao suddenly said: "Zhicai said, let them fight?" And then we take advantage of the opportunity? ”

"That's right, if our army is all subordinate, Si Li has become the weakness of our army, and it is surrounded by heroes, tomorrow's our army is today's Liu Bei, not to mention that the territory is big, our army needs more troops and generals, lord, where do these come from?"

Cao Cao nodded frequently, and Yan Xiang watched carefully, silently silent.

Xi Zhicai paused, licked his somewhat dry lips, and continued: "On the contrary, if Yuan Shao stepped into it, shouldn't this embarrassing situation be borne by Yuan Shao?" Moreover, Sima Fang and Gongsun Zhan may not have the idea of coming to get a piece of the pie. Also, did Liu Bei return to Jingzhou willingly? When Jingzhou is stable, Liu Bei controls the passage of Bears Ears Mountain, and can invade Henan Yin and Sili at any time, which is a battlefield that will never stop."

Yan Xiang thought about it carefully, isn't this the situation over the years, in the hot land of Sili, a lot of people have been planted, before anyone wants to go in, it is best to think about the consequences first, instead of entering this big arena to mix, it is better to stand on the periphery and see if there is a greater benefit to get caries

Cao Cao said with affection: "In this case, then we don't plot against Henan Yin?" ”

"No, we're going to plot 1 Xi Zhicai said with a smile.

Yan Xiang looked at Xi Zhicai strangely, just now he said not to enter the division, but now why did he come to the opposite conclusion? That's weird, isn't it?

"Zhicai said that only when we go in, can others go in, and only then can we dare to go in?"

"Hehe, the lord sees that this is exactly the case, if we don't dare to go in, others have similar ideas, wouldn't it be cheap Liu Bei for nothing, if the time is sufficient, Liu Bei can even deceive the people of Sili to Jingzhou, this is Liu Bei's forte, and Jingzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and there is a lot of land waiting to be developed1

"Well, I see! So our army not only has to guide the heroes into the division, but also has to compete with Liu Bei for population? ”

"Indeed it is! The subordinates thought that the lord should communicate with the surrounding heroes as soon as possible, and definitely not leave too much time for Liu Bei, and in the same way, our army should also appropriately increase the intensity of attacks on Dingling and Yingyin, and at the same time order Yan Xing and Liang Xing to infiltrate to the northwest and harass the Yingyang and Yangzhai areas1

Cao Cao stroked his beard and smiled when he heard this, Xi Zhicai's idea just completely penetrated Cao Cao's thinking, and a clearly visible overall strategy had been fully formed in his heart.

"Haha, what a plan! It's a good thing to kill two birds with one stone! Someone comes, herald 1

Cao Cao strictly ordered Ji Ling to strengthen the offensive against Dingling, although Dingling was garrisoned by Yu and Pang Yuan, but the strength was quite limited, and Dingling was a first-class town, this kind of small city was obviously not suitable for facing such a large-scale siege battle.

Ji Ling's onslaught at any cost suddenly made Dingling in jeopardy!

At the same time, the cavalry of Liang Xing and Yan Xing frequently penetrated into the Yingyang and Yangzhai areas on a large scale, and had the idea of raiding Liu Bei's back road and cutting off Yingchuan.

Liu Bei couldn't help but be a little anxious, in this case, Liu Bei immediately ordered Liu Feng to lead the army to settle in Xicheng, ordered Guan Ping to lead the army to garrison Shangyong, ordered Li Yan to lead the army to garrison Wuxian, ordered Lu Yi to lead the army to garrison Youyang, ordered Guan Yu to retreat to Wuyang, and presided over the retreat work in the western part of Yingchuan.

Liu Bei wants to evacuate not only the army, but also the people, as well as as many supplies, if it is not for fear of being scolded, Liu Bei also wants to learn what Fang Zhiwen did in Guangling County back then, of course, time is not allowed.

This series of actions has basically exposed Liu Bei's thoughts, whether it is the Yiren who is fighting with Cao Cao in Yingchuan, or the people in Xuchang and Yingyin City, as well as Yuan Shao, Song Hufeng, Gongsun Zhan, Huangfu Song and Sima Fang, and even Zhang Liang, they all need to respond to Liu Bei's strategy, think about their own countermeasures, and seriously adjust their own methods!

When the situation in Yingchuan took a sharp turn for the worse, the person who was most concerned and anxious was Yuan Shao, if Liu Bei took the initiative to give up Yingchuan and turn his focus to Jingzhou, then what would happen to Chen Liu? Will Liu Bei stick to Chen Liu? Next, how will the situation of Si Li change, and how should he deal with it?

The most headache for Yuan Shao is actually the question that Xi Zhicai raised to Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai saw the terrible thing about Si Li, and Xu You also saw it as well as the judge, but Si Li is undoubtedly a big fat meat, there is no reason not to eat it in his mouth, right? And if you don't eat it, won't Cao Cao eat it either? Sima Fang and Gongsun Zan also don't eat it?

Wouldn't that be cheaper Liu Bei! This is absolutely not a no-go! To be continued...
