Cao Cao wanted to take advantage of Sun Ce's assassination to control Jiangdong, but he was still pacifying Hebei at that time, and he could only use some other means.

It's a pity that Jiangdong's power is huge, and Fei Lan, Dai Yuan, and Sun Fu have failed one after another, but Jiangdong's power is getting bigger and bigger, and it is now difficult to exterminate.

Cheng Yu sneered:

"That Zhang Zhao is originally from Pengcheng, and he has a good relationship with Kong Rong. Since Sun Ce's death, he has always claimed that he wants Xu Xu Xigui to join the imperial court, and he has always been on discord with Zhou Yu.

But the prime minister thinks about it, who did Sun Quan rely on to subdue the Jiangdong clans, and who did he rely on to sit firmly in Jiangdong and quell the rebellion? Of course it's Zhang Zhao. ”

Cao Cao was in a cold sweat when he heard this, and his heart was too, his subordinates tried not to use Xuzhou people, how could he believe that a Confucian from Xuzhou (and Xubei) was extraordinarily sincere to himself?

"When Sun Ce was assassinated, he entrusted all the major affairs to Zhang Zhao, which shows his loyalty.

After that, Zhang Zhao was worried that he would also be assassinated, so he fought with Zhou Yu alone, and the other was in peace, and he had been dragging the court for so many years, making the court think that Liu Biao and Liu Bei were the biggest threats.

But look at it now, when Jiangdong took advantage of the unpreparedness of the imperial court in recent years, it was far superior to Sun Ce, and his soldiers were full of food and occupied a favorable location that was difficult to destroy, thanks to Zhang Zhao's work. That Lu Ji is just a small child, and writing a book for the prime minister must be Zhang Zhao's mastermind. The purpose is to ......"

Speaking of this, Cheng Yu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of something.

"Was the prime minister's precaution against Guan Ping insufficient?"

"Oh, Zhongde, please."

Cheng Yu brought Xu Shu's battle proposal to Zhang Yun in front of Cao Cao, pointed to the text on it and said:

"Prime Minister, look at it, is this word a word, if you fight according to this law, you may be able to win it all?"

Cao Cao looked carefully at Xu Shu's suggestion, nodded and said:

"Although it is not a clever strategy, it is also stable, if Zixiao follows the plan, he will not suffer such a fiasco."

"That's it." Cheng Yu said confidently, "Xu Yuan is scheming, Zihe is the brother of Zixiao's mother, and it is not clear that he died with Zhang Yun before, so Xu Shu did his best to give advice to Zixiao, of course Zixiao did not dare to listen, so he suffered a big defeat, and this cannot be completely blamed on Zixiao or Zhang Yun." ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Yu lowered his voice:

"Did the prime minister ever think that there was something that we all fell for Xu Yuanzhi's calculations?"

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, shook his head and said:

"No, after Yuan Zhilai came, he has been silent, and I have never heard of his calculations."

"Hey." Cheng Yu sneered, "I remember that when Xu Yuanzhi first came, he once said that Zhuge Liang's talent was ten times better than him. ”

"Yes, what's wrong with that?" Cao Cao felt that his head hurt badly.

"There is no problem, but Xu Yuanzhi is scheming, but he has to guard against it.

Zhuge Liang has the talent of Wolong, and what we guarded against before was all his tricks, but the prime minister took a look, who did Zihe die in before, and who did Zhang Zhao take the initiative to break the knot with this time, who dared to attack Jiangling, and who intercepted Zixiao halfway? ”

Cheng Yu's voice was very demagogic, and the people he said were creepy, but he secretly felt as if there was a reason.

Guan Ping!

It's all Guan Ping!

All of these events are about peace at work in them!

"Impossible! It's ridiculous! Xun You finally couldn't help it,

"How is this possible? You said before that Lu Ji was young, but how old is the Guan family? This year is only sixteen or seventeen, and it is okay for him to be the general of the school soldiers, so it is not a big mistake to make him the mastermind of the world? ”

Cheng Yu smiled and said: "You are from a famous family, so naturally you don't know. This Guan family Lang was displaced when he was young, and he was separated from Yun Chang several times, if there is no ruthless calculation, how can a young man travel to many places, and he can meet Yun Chang again? You can't be a planner with such skills, can't you be a planner? ”

Xun You wanted to argue again, but Cao Cao waved his hand and motioned for them to say less.

"So what?"

Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao's expression and knew that Cao Cao had already believed it. He stretched out three withered fingers and smiled:

"Our military needs to rebuild the military intelligence school, this is also the case."

Cao Cao's face was gloomy, and all the staff members also bowed their heads slightly, indicating that this was indeed the case.

Cao Cao's previous staff in charge of military intelligence was Guo Jia, and his grasp of military intelligence was very good, so that Cao Jun could detect the rebellion in time and organize assassinations and assassinations, so as to reduce unnecessary energy consumption and concentrate all forces in one place to continue fighting.

After Guo Jia's death, Cao Cao did not find a satisfactory confidential person to be responsible for the military situation, and he was blind and arrogant before, ignoring the investigation of Jingzhou and Jiangdong, and actually did not see that Zhang Zhao was the biggest rebel minister, which led to Cao Jun like a blindfolded tiger, and the battle was unfavorable.

"Our army is currently not on good terms with the soldiers of Jingzhou, so it is advisable to postpone the offensive, implement moral politics, and appease the people's hearts.

Cao Cao's army is now suffering a big defeat, and the army's heart is unstable, Cao Cao remembered what Jia Xu said before, and also thought that it was not suitable for a big war, so he also nodded slowly.

"Guan Jialang is in charge of an army, and he is quite popular in Jingzhou, this person will definitely come back in the future, and it will be a big disaster for our army. Please ask the prime minister to visit the Jingxiang warriors and Jiangdong assassins and assassinate this thief. ”

"All three are prepared, our army is going downstream, can Sun Liu Yan resist?"

I have to say that Cheng Yu, the general of Fenwu, is indeed a cut above several staff, except for Xun Yu's dissatisfaction, Dong Zhao, Chen Lin, and Chen Qun are all full of admiration, and they can't stop bowing their heads again and again.

Cao Cao thought about it for a long time, and he felt that it did make sense.

It's just that......

"It's easier said than done." Xun Yu said in a strange manner, "If it is as General Cheng said, Guan Ping is strong in martial arts and good at maneuvering, and he comes and goes freely, who will I send to kill?" ”

Cheng Yu lightly twisted his long beard and said with a smile:

"The prime minister also has confidants in Jiangdong, and he can be ordered to assassinate him, and if it doesn't work, he will tell where Guan Ping is.

As long as I know where Guan Ping is, I will guarantee one person, which is enough to win-

This person's surname is Huang Mingzhong, he has the courage of ten thousand people, and he is from Jingzhou, and he is by no means the enemy of Guan Ping. Guan Ping's repeated victories must be arrogant, and the next time he comes, he will make this person follow the example of Wei Yan and pretend to surrender Guan Ping, and behead Guan Ping with one sword. ”

Xun You frowned and said:

"Then Huang Zhong was once promoted to Huang Han, the Zhonglang general under Liu Biao?"

"Yes, yes."

"This person was brave back then, but he is already sixty years old, what is the use?"

Cao Cao waved his hand:

"Since it is recommended by Zhongde, it must be a fierce general - Huang Zhong is a general, and he will go to Jiangling to listen to it."

Cao Cao was repeatedly calculated before, and he didn't want to ask Jia Xu in his heart, but now with Cheng Yu's guidance, he suddenly felt that the clouds were clear, and he pinned all his hopes on Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu was also in high spirits and continued:

"Before the prime minister went to Jingzhou, although he was rewarded a lot, Liu Cong could be transferred, but after all, people's hearts were unstable.

The so-called employment is not suspicious, it is better to select Jingzhou talents, so that they belong to the local affairs, in order to calm their hearts?

I heard that Ma has a son, named Ma Liang, this person is quite talented, very good at clerical, if the prime minister reuses him as the acting military, everyone should be convinced. ”

Cao Cao nodded again and again:

"Okay, just according to Zhongde's words."

The more Cheng Yu spoke, the more excited he became, and continued:

"The commander of the school affairs, aware of the great wonder of the military aircraft, it is not of great use to the relatives of the prime minister.

In the past, the prime minister punished Zixiao bitterly, so it was better to temporarily dismiss his leader as a punishment and secretly order him to take charge of the school affairs and guard Jiangling.

If so, in March, Jiangling will be stable, the people will be subdued, our army will go down the river, Liu Bei and Sun Quan will have to be captured, and they will dare to fight with the imperial court. ”

The more Cao Cao listened, the more he was pleased, and praised repeatedly:

"Good, good, good, there is Zhongde, this battle will be won. The major events here rely on Zhongde a lot! ”
