Chapter 789: Cao Cao's shamelessness
Cao Cao, who was strongly favored by Guo Jia, is now wiping the cold sweat on his forehead and rejoicing, if it weren't for a continuous heavy snowfall, or Huainan would be in flames of war, the consequences of accepting the effect of strangers were really serious, and even far more serious than Cao Cao expected.
Cao Cao didn't expect that the alien forces in Jingnan would react so much, and they actually spread the word everywhere, saying that Cao Cao, a descendant of eunuchs, wanted to use the power of foreign clans to plot a rebellion, and called on the princes of the world to fight against him.
Originally, it was a joke that this text came out of the hands of Yiren, but it was endorsed by the Son of Heaven in Jinyang, but fortunately, the Son of Heaven in Chang'an supported Cao Cao, which made Cao Cao, who had always advertised himself as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, wipe his sweat fiercely.
Then, the news from the Inhumans became worse and worse, and the Inhuman forces who originally liked to follow Cao Cao to fight everywhere withdrew from Huainan and Qiaojun, of course, there were also many new Inhumans to join in, but in general, there were more and less, which made Cao Cao feel a sense of horror.
If this situation becomes a long-term norm, then Cao Cao's final support rate among the Inhumans will undoubtedly continue to decrease, and will there be no supporters at all in the end, if that is the case, Cao Cao's trouble will be big, Cao Cao is well aware of the power of the Inhuman forces.
Cao Cao's panic naturally alarmed Xi Zhicai, who was far away in Qian County, so Xi Zhicai rushed all the way to Shouchun, fortunately, this heavy snow brought everything to a halt and bought Cao Cao time to respond.
"My lord, this is done"
"Hey, I also know that this matter is inappropriate, I originally wanted to weigh the pros and cons and the pros outweigh the disadvantages, so"
"My lord, no matter how you look at this, it will do more harm than good. Especially in the long run, the territory, population, and strength are very important to the lord, but the most important thing is righteousness and fame! The Central Plains is different from the border region, and it is not a place that pays attention to pure strength. Those who act as overlords will eventually be like Dong Zhuo. In the Central Plains, it is necessary to follow the royal road, and if everything occupies the righteousness, the lord will be invincible, and then supplemented by a strong military force. The government decrees and measures that can be widely accepted by the people and gentry can finally make the lord and the government invincible, and then Xu Tu the world. Now that the lord has lost the fame that he has won with great difficulty for the sake of immediate interests, this is definitely more than worth the loss1
Cao Cao tugged at his beard in embarrassment. His face was flushed, and he was very angry in his heart, but Cao Cao knew that Xi Zhicai was completely right, he was blinded by lard, and he should be scolded for making this stupid decision!
"Good scolding, good scolding! It was my uncompetitive head that made such a decision, and it was foolish. Foolishness1
"The lord doesn't need to be like this, no one is perfect, how can anyone not make mistakes, the key is to be able to learn from it, and find ways to make up for or even change the current passive situation."
Xi Zhicai took a deep breath. The frown gradually unfolded. Cao Cao nodded, looking at Xi Zhicai with some anxiety and expectation in his eyes.
"So, what can we do now to save the day!?"
Xi Zhicai thought about it, gritted his teeth and said, "Make a statement." Declare these Inhuman forces anti-thieves and expel them. If they do not want to leave the country, they will attack it.1
Cao Cao was stunned, this is the bridge after the draw, the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooking? It's coming too fast!
"It has to be so, although it has a negative impact on the prestige of the lord in the short term, but in the long run, it will definitely be able to gradually dilute the matter, on the contrary, if we continue to cooperate with these so-called foreign forces, and eventually pour the opposite side of most of the alien forces, and even the reputation of the lord has always been said to cooperate with foreign races, although the foreign race of the aliens has nothing to do with us, although the aliens themselves can also be said to be foreigners, but this must not be said, otherwise it is the end of the thousand people, the lord would rather be scolded for a while, Or was he scolded for a lifetime? ”
Xi Zhicai's vigorous analysis made Cao Cao understand the current situation, yes, now he is choosing the lesser of two evils, instead of wanting bad things to become good, or slowly in the future, but now that he is in the limelight, how can he have that kind of unrealistic fantasy, now he is going to cut his flesh to heal his sores! Can I be afraid of pain? Even if you are afraid, you have to cut it, otherwise the whole person will die!
Cao Cao frowned and thought about it, he was scolded for a while, he was scolded for treachery, he was scolded for his life, and he was scolded for forgetting his sect, these two choices are not comparable at all!
"What Zhicai said is very true, then make a statement, but give those player forces a breath in advance, we can't do things absolutely without it, let's talk about the future"
Xi Zhicai raised his eyebrows, opened his mouth and was about to refute, seeing the look on Cao Cao's face, he finally closed his mouth, Cao Cao was right, if the thing is done, will this group of people learn a lesson and turn to secretly support their opponents? Rather than this, it is better to continue to hang these people, ostensibly hitting them, but in fact it is also a kind of protection for them, so that they can hide deeper, and even change their tricks and come back.
Xi Zhicai didn't notice at all that his ideas had been completely utilitarian at this moment, Cao Cao was a utilitarian from the root, and Xi Zhicai was unfortunately infected, once people fell into the abyss of utilitarianism, I am afraid it would be difficult to climb up again!
"Boyang, what's the situation now?"
Zhang Zhiyuan has been focusing more on fighting the snow disaster during this time, relatively speaking, the snow disaster in Guiyang and Lingling counties, where the Tianxia Association is located, is much lighter, but these two areas are already backward, and the road conditions are not good, plus there is no experience in the prevention of snow disasters, and there is no psychological preparation, so losses are inevitable.
Fortunately, the change of weather has little impact on the Inhumans, but the Inhumans are very resistant to disasters, and there is no need to do anything else, the effect that just wrapping this artifact can play is extremely huge, and the proportion of the aboriginal population is low, so the loss of human life is very small. The main thing is the loss of crops and houses, but fortunately, this loss can be made up with money and food, so it is not too much of a loss.
Zhang Zhiyuan, who was busy with disaster relief, handed over all the external affairs to Zhao Boyang to be responsible, and now the disaster relief is on the right track, and Zhang Zhiyuan finally has time to carefully consider the external affairs.
Zhao Boyang patted the railing with a thin layer of snowflakes. frowned and said, "Cao Cao issued a statement today. It is said that he didn't know the details of these players' forces at the time, but now that he knows about it, he declares these Inhuman forces as anti-thieves and expels them all from his own jurisdiction. At the same time, he also asked the court for responsibility. This heavy snowfall has delayed our affairs1
Zhang Zhiyuan's brows furrowed tightly, this matter is very strange, and it is not difficult to guess Cao Cao's response. With things taking a turn for the worse and worse for Cao Cao, it is understandable that Cao Cao made this choice to temporarily sacrifice his reputation, but save his image.
What is incomprehensible is, what is the brain thinking? Why did the sudden heavy snow fall at this juncture disrupted the rhythm of the development of everything, if the target of Zhi Brain was these ill-intentioned Inhuman forces, then it should not hinder the military campaign to besiege Cao Cao.
On the contrary, if Zhi Brain is supporting Cao Cao or foreign alien forces, then the end result may be to accelerate the process of game unification. Does Zhi Brain want this game world to be unified as soon as possible?
The more Zhang Zhiyuan thought about it, the more confused he became, and his head was as big as a fight, but he didn't have any specific experience, how could Zhinao's mind be so easy to see? Zhang Zhiyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"yes, it's elusive.1
"Zhiyuan is talking about Cao Cao? Or is it a smart brain? ”
Cao Cao's mind is not difficult to ponder. The worst thing he could think about was to get those people out the front door, and then wait for the limelight to pass before letting them in through the back door. This method is not new at all, and it is not easy to deceive people. But it's not easy for us to get hold of him. ”
"Do you need a handle for this, let's just create hatred with Cao Cao directly, it's best to ignite the contradictions between Cao Cao and Liu Bei and Sun Jian around him, the most confusing question for me is what is Zhinao thinking? Why stop us from dealing with Cao Cao? ”
Zhang Zhiyuan looked at the white mountains in the distance and said with a smile: "Who can be sure that Zhi Brain is stopping us?" Maybe it's just trying to put it off, or it's stopping everyone, otherwise why is there such a wide range of snowfall, you know, this kind of extreme weather is often just the beginning, according to our understanding of the weather, continuous heavy snow represents a big drought in the coming year, and then the drought relief will be too busy to fight? Huh"
Zhao Boyang's eyes lit up: "You mean, the actual purpose of the brain is to reduce the intensity of the war?" ”
"The way of civil and military affairs, one by one, the war has been fought for four consecutive years, shouldn't it be stopped, if you maintain a state of high tension for a long time, people's hearts will slowly distort, not to mention that the aborigines are under more pressure than us, of course, this is just my guess."
Zhao Boyang said thoughtfully: "I kind of understand, Zhi Brain is not stopping anyone, but raising the cost of the war and increasing the consumption of non-human resources. Therefore, the purpose of increasing the cost and increasing the consumption is to greatly increase the cost of external intervention in the world, and at the same time, it greatly enhances the attraction of players who rely on this world to survive and cultivates more firm supporters, which is in line with the interests of the brain1
Zhang Zhiyuan nodded thoughtfully: "Maybe, you see, what a beautiful world this is, no matter what, I always feel that this world is worth our efforts to maintain, no matter what Zhi Brain thinks, I always hope that this world can last forever, and in the future, my children, my children and grandchildren can have a different world." ”
"Hehe, maybe there's more1
"That's not bad either1
