Qingzhou.

Le'an County.

Cao Cao was one of the princes of Dong on the eighteenth road, all the way to Qingzhou, although he was defeated from Luoyang, but all the way to Qingzhou, because Cao Cao pursued Dong Zhuo alone and gained great prestige, where he recruited troops and horses, and after coming to Qingzhou, the number of foot soldiers has increased to 5,000.

After that, Cao Cao followed Li Xiaodao's strategic arrangement, and first started the attack from the Yellow Turban stragglers in Qingzhou, and did not capture the city at first, because the Qingzhou territory still belongs to the Beihai Taishou Kong Rong after all.

But with Cao Cao's continuous expansion for more than a year, he gathered the remnants of the Yellow Turban into his camp, and his strength continued to grow, and then he forcibly swallowed the territory of Le'an County in Kong Rong's mouth.

The Eastern Han Dynasty has a total of thirteen states, the state has counties under its jurisdiction, Qingzhou belongs to the territory of Beihai Taishou Kongrong, there are six counties under its jurisdiction, at first Cao Cao only occupied a Linji City, with the continuous expansion of strength, and finally turned one of the six counties of Qingzhou into his own territory.

Because Beihai Taishou Kong Rong is just a mediocre scholar, he has a headache for the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban remnants under his jurisdiction, and he is unable to clean up, with Cao Cao's help, his pressure is greatly reduced, so although Cao Cao arrogantly expanded his territory, Kong Rong himself can't even solve the Yellow Turban, and how to deal with Cao Cao.

And as Cao Cao's power grew day by day, although Kong Rong began to fidget, he was helpless.

Because Cao Cao now has 30,000 soldiers and occupies Le'an County, it is too late for him to turn his head and deal with it again.

Now, in the government office of Le'an County, there are several people sitting at the banquet.

Cao Cao's left chief sat Li Xiaodao, and there were four people under him, Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhicai, who were invited by Li Xiaodao to come.

Looking at these five strategists, Cao Cao's heart was agitated, and he said: "Cao Cao can get Wenruo's uncle and nephew, Fengxiao and Zhicai, such as Gaozu and Xiao He. ”

The four of them bowed their heads one after another, Guo Jia pointed at Li Xiaodao, and chuckled: "Cao Gong said that he was laughing, the ovary and Xiao He are here." ”

Cao Cao looked at Li Xiaodao and sighed deeply: "The talent of mystery, in Cao's opinion, even Zhang Liang and Xiao He cannot be compared. ”

Xun You frowned slightly when he heard this, although he knew Li Xiaodao in Yingchuan, but at this moment, he heard that Cao Cao actually respected Li Xiaodao to this point, and his heart was very unwilling, and then, he looked at Li Xiaodao and said: "I heard that Li Xuanji paid all the world's strategists to a list, and he was known as a person, and he talked about the general trend of the world. ”

Hearing this, Guo Jia first showed a playful smile in his eyes.

Since ancient times, he has been the first and the second, although Li Xuanji is good friends with him, it does not prevent him from liking to see the current situation, and at the same time he is also curious about how this person will respond to Xun You's provocation.

Seeing this, Cao Cao's heart moved slightly, but he did not come forward to stop it in time, on the contrary, he also had the heart to see these strategists at this moment to talk about the general trend of the world, so that he could better know the skills between several people.

Li Xiaodao faced Xun You's provocation, and at the same time looked at everyone at the banquet, the corners of his mouth hooked, and said: "Since you dare to rank this list, you are not afraid of someone putting your beak." ”

Xun You couldn't help but be angry, but after all, the Xun family was a family clan with a long heritage, and his own cultivation did not allow him to show such emotions, so he suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Just ask Xuanji to talk about this list first, and ask your Excellency what qualifications you have to be the first in the world." ”

Li Xiaodao's literary list, the name of the number one person is himself, such an arrogant and conceited person, how can Xun You be convinced before he sees the other party's ability.

During the banquet, Li Xiaodao looked at Xun You and said: "In the list below, the world's celebrities are ranked, and they are divided into three grades. ”

Hearing this, even Xun Yu, who had an elegant temperament, couldn't help but look sideways, and he was also interested in hearing what these three grades were.

Cao Cao was also curious, and said, "What are the three products?" ”

Li Xiaodao picked up a glass of water in front of him, took a sip lightly, and then said leisurely: "All ancient and modern celebrities, the corporal seeks a city, the sergeant seeks a country, and the sergeant seeks the world." ”

Everyone at the banquet couldn't help but ponder.

The meaning of this sentence is that the lowest strategist can only seek one or two cities with his greatest ability, while the middle strategist can help build a country, and the top strategist can unify the world.

"The so-called those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a moment. Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain. In Xia Bucai, it is the person who can seek the overall situation, so naturally as the top of the literary list, if anyone can be me, I can confidently let the world unify, then I don't mind being on the same list with him. ”

Li Xiaodao said such an arrogant sentence softly, but it made Xun You very angry.

Now the world is in troubled times, who doesn't start from a small city first, but Li Xiaodao is ashamed to say that he already knows how to dominate the world, although the other party's three-grade strategist's words make Xun You unable to refute, but he directly pressed himself to the position of the highest grade that can seek the world, how can he convince others.

Even Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu couldn't help frowning at this moment.

However, Li Xiaodao's face did not change, and he continued to say slowly: "If you talk about military affairs, there are no more than two kinds, one is strategy, the other is tactics, and the corporal wins with tactics, such as the art of war records 'the way of fire and water, the strategy of cutting off food'.

However, this is only a temporary victory or defeat, and it is not enough to affect the overall situation, and the gap between the sergeant and the sergeant is above the strategic vision. ”

"The most obvious difference between strategists is how much the general trend changes in the future can be seen."

"The mystery is not talented, but it can be said that the general trend of the world is in my chest and abdomen, so I don't deserve to be at the top of the literary list." Li Xiaodao said with a little smile.

Xun You snorted coldly and said: "There is no basis for words, it is better to actually show it, and then take Cao Gong's position at this time as the starting point, and listen to your strategy in the next step, how to dominate the world from Le'an County step by step." ”

Cao Cao listened from the sidelines and couldn't help but hold his breath nervously.

After Li Xiaodao heard this, he stood up from the banquet, and then ordered the soldiers outside to go to a map of the world.

At the same time, everyone gathered around.

Then, Li Xiaodao pointed to the location of Le'an County on the map with his fingertips, and said: "First of all, Cao Gong has 30,000 soldiers, and it will not take two years to suppress the Yellow Turban Trouble in Qingzhou, do you have any opinions." ”

Xun You was silent, the current Cao Cao has fierce generals such as the Xiahou brothers and Dian Wei, and then there are several strategists here to suppress the Yellow Turban Army, which is like a straggler, there is no doubt about it.

According to Li Xiaodao's theory of three-grade strategists, the corporal seeks a city, how can these people here not even be able to take a piece of land in Qingzhou.

"Qingzhou will belong to Cao Gong within three years, but there are a total of thirteen states in the world, how should you use Qingzhou as a base to compete in the world?" Guo Jia asked at this time.

Li Xiaodao said slowly: "With the 300,000 yellow scarves in Qingzhou, the next step is to enter Yanzhou, and the most important thing is to occupy Chenliu." ”

"Chen Liu......"

Guo Jia and Xun Yu were keenly aware of the importance of this county.

So, they immediately looked at Li Xiaodao and said in unison: "Son of Heaven! ”
