Chapter Ninety-Six: What Are Your Eyes?
Xi Yu smiled lightly, looked at the three Cao Cao in front of him fixedly, and asked casually.
Regardless of whether Liu Bei will serve as the pastor of Xuzhou, the matter of Cao's army attacking Xuzhou has become a fact.
It's something that can't be changed.
Cao Cao will not give up Xuzhou because Liu Bei is alone.
The entire Cao Ying will not be shaken by anything that happened in Xuzhou.
So far, it is not as simple as Cao Cao wanting to attack Xuzhou.
Up and down Caoying, all they need is the territory of Xuzhou.
Development is not a one-person thing, Cao Cao is just the leader, in the final analysis, even with Cao Ying, it is a large team.
The wheels have rolled, and any obstacle, these people will try to solve him.
Xun Yu in front of him is like this, and so is Cheng Yu, including him playing.
"As for Lu Bu?"
"He is arrogant, brave and unscrupulous, and for us, this person is just a disease of scabies!"
"It's nothing!"
After turning his gaze to Cheng Yu and giving answers to all the questions of the three people, Xi Yu looked at the three people in front of him leisurely.
Heard Xi Yu say this.
Cao Cao took Xun Yu and the three of them and looked at each other.
The atmosphere in the camp seemed to have suddenly stopped.
Immediately after, after a while, the three of them looked at me, I looked at you, and then they laughed at each other.
Cheng Yu shook his head slightly.
"As I said earlier, Fengyi must know all about these things in his heart!"
Today's Cheng Yu, after getting acquainted with Xi Yu, admires him a lot.
A person whose literary planning is not weaker than him, and whose military strategy is extremely strong, such a person becomes a colleague, although there is some pressure, but in such a competitive world.
Who can't be excited!
The corners of Xun Yu's mouth on the side twitched, you kid has already thought about it in his heart.
I didn't go to the government office for so many days.
For Xi Yu, he was even more annoyed.
obviously has a full stomach of talent and strategy, if you do things seriously, the results will naturally be more obvious.
But its lazy and formless appearance is really unsightly.
There is no jealousy, for Xi Yu, Xun Yu has long regarded the other party as a younger brother.
Earlier, when the other party entered the Cao camp, he still wanted to take care of the other party.
However, since he realized Xi Yu's ability little by little, Xun Yu naturally hoped that Xi Yu would do more things.
To be able to end this troubled era as soon as possible and restore the former prosperity of the Han Dynasty as soon as possible is what Xun Yu yearns for in his heart.
looked at the scene in front of him with a resentful look, and at this moment, Xun Yu's heart was even more convinced.
This guy must not be allowed to waste his ability, no matter what, he must let Xi Yu display his talent and ability.
At this moment, Cao Cao is like drinking a sip of the sweet spring that refreshes people's hearts and spleens in March.
After some remarks from the joke, he had an indescribable sense of smoothness all over his body.
Good!
All right!
Everything Xi Yu said is really not worth taking to heart at all.
Xuzhou, they are determined to win, and no one can stop them from occupying Xuzhou.
Now, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan and others have all been placed in Xuzhou by him.
Half of Xuzhou is under his command and occupies the whole of Xuzhou, and the rest is only a matter of time.
Tao Qian, that guy can't last long.
It's just that there is one more Liu Bei, that's all!
"Speaking of Xuzhou, I don't know how Fengyi thinks of the current situation of our army in his heart?"
seemed to understand what Cao Cao and Xun Yu wanted to ask.
Seeing that Xi Yu didn't mean to continue to speak, Cheng Yu on the side helped his beard, which was not too long, and asked softly with a grin.
As soon as these words were spoken, Cao Cao and Xun Yu's expressions also began to turn positive.
The three of them came together to see what Xi Yu was doing.
At present, the matter of the Yanzhou rebellion, with the return of Cao Cao, has almost been calmed down.
The rest of the things, the most important things at the moment, are naturally Xuzhou's affairs.
Yuan Shao now occupies the land of Jizhou and Qingzhou, and between the other party and Gongsun Zhan, there is already incompatibility.
There is no shortage of friction between the two on the border.
There are no less than dozens of big and small fights, and between these two people, there should always be a winner and loser.
And how long can this time be?
As for Yuan Shu in Huainan, he is now busy capturing more towns.
The two brothers of the Yuan family, one south and one north, have become an existence that the Han cannot ignore.
Yanzhou is still sandwiched between these two people after all.
Caoying's development cannot stand still, and Xuzhou is a crucial step.
"Xuzhou?"
Xi Yu raised his eyes and looked at the three people in front of him slowly.
Speaking of Xuzhou, it is natural to say that it is not a problem of war with Xuzhou on the surface, but a problem within Xuzhou as a whole.
"What do you think of Xuzhou?"
Xi Yu didn't rush to say his conclusion, but turned around and asked the three people in front of him.
At present, this situation is no longer a simple small talk.
Speaking of business, when the four of them sat around, they all became extremely positive with each other.
Xun Yu frowned slightly.
staring at the table in front of everyone, after thinking about it, he casually poured some tea on the table.
The humble gentleman in front of him stretched out his hand to dot the water.
I saw that Xun Yu's fingers were sketching on the desktop, and after a while, a rough map of Xuzhou appeared on the desktop.
This hand can be regarded as making Xi Yu's eyebrows slightly raised.
Even Cao Cao and Cheng Yu couldn't help but open their mouths to praise.
It is worthy of Xun Yu, the entire landform of Xuzhou can be outlined simply by relying on some water.
Xun Yu was not complacent because of this.
Being in the rear, he naturally pays attention to the situation in Xuzhou every day.
For the landform of Xuzhou, he has long been familiar with it, and now he is sketching it casually, which is naturally nothing.
It is not too difficult for anyone to look at the map of Xuzhou every day and sketch a general picture of the situation and landform.
What's more, it's still Xun Yu.
"Look, everybody!"
"At present, our army has occupied Dongguan County, Donghai County and other Xuzhou counties!"
"The rest are Xuzhou Tancheng, Xiapi and other regions!"
"As our army refers to at the moment, Xuzhou is already under the peak of our army, and the army is pressed in many ways, and it is only a matter of time before Xuzhou is occupied!"
……
Xun Yu didn't say anything, just casually pointed out the current situation in Xuzhou on the surface, and then looked up at the three people in front of him.
Hearing this, Cao Cao laughed.
"It is true that as Wen Ruo said, although our army and the Xuzhou army are facing each other now, the advantages of our army have been fully revealed."
"I heard that the factions in Xuzhou have now begun to gradually fight among themselves!"
"Tao Qian is seriously ill now, who has the final say in the whole of Xuzhou, there is no definite number yet!"
Cao Cao sneered.
If it weren't for his army pressing in, I'm afraid that the current Xuzhou would have fought between themselves.
Although Tao Qian wanted Liu Bei to succeed Xuzhou Mu, how could others be willing to do such a thing.
Those wealthy families who have always taken Xuzhou as their foundation, will they be willing to let an outsider ride on their heads?
They don't want to.
Someone else doesn't want it.
These people don't know how many years they have been operating in Xuzhou, and after several generations of hard work, they are finally doing business in Xuzhou.
How could he watch Xuzhou fall into Liu Bei's hands?
"When it comes to Xuzhou today, the Danyang people led by Tao Qian are considered a faction, the local scholars in Xuzhou are a faction, and those businessmen and wealthy families are considered a faction, and Liu Bei is also a faction!"
After Cao Cao's words fell, Cheng Yu on the side followed and analyzed.
……
Let's talk about Tao Qian first.
He himself is a native of Danyang, and from the time the imperial court asked him to serve as the assassin of Xuzhou, Tao Qian began to enter Xuzhou.
After half a lifetime of operation, it can be regarded as a business in Xuzhou.
Cao Bao, the general he relied on the most, was Tao Qian's fellow villager and Tao Qian's most trusted person.
It's a pity that Cao Bao's ability is limited, and he is reluctant to be a general.
It is considered a second-rate general, not a famous general.
But he is loyal to Tao Qian, and the two complement each other, and he is not a weak force in Xuzhou.
Tao Qianneng later became the pastor of Xuzhou, and the Danyang soldiers behind him should not be underestimated.
It is precisely because of Danyang Bing that he Tao Qian can become one of the princes in this troubled world.
And when it comes to the Xuzhou scholars.
Naturally, it is the Xuzhou Shi clan headed by the Chen family, Chen Jue, Chen Deng and his son.
The Chen family is a native scholar in Xuzhou, with several generations of business, and has long taken root in Xuzhou.
Its power can also be regarded as intertwined in Xuzhou.
The purpose of these scholars is nothing more than the prosperity of the family, and they don't care about who is the pastor of Xuzhou.
All these nobles value is profit!
Let's talk about Xuzhou businessmen.
That is the Mi family and other merchants, their influence in Xuzhou is a little weaker than that of the Shi clan.
The Shang family and the scholar family are simply incomparable.
From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when the concept of Shinong Industry and Commerce began to appear.
Although the four classes were high or low to each other, there was no clear division at that time.
However, since the pre-Qin period, the controversy of a hundred schools of thought has come to an end.
The Han Dynasty began to respect Confucianism, and the status of the scholars began to leap up.
And the status of the merchants, with the passage of hundreds of years, has become weaker and weaker unconsciously.
The wealthy businessmen cannot be compared with the scholars at all.
Although the status of these businessmen in Xuzhou is not as good as that of those wealthy families.
And they are naturally not reconciled to this, their purpose is to make their lintel into a family.
For this reason, the merchants bet on many sides.
After all, the example of a certain big businessman in the pre-Qin period has long been there.
In the final analysis, these businessmen are actually more profit-oriented.
Whoever can get them the greater benefit will stand on whose side they will support whom.
As for Liu Bei at the end.
Although he is only an outsider, it is precisely because Tao Qian is seriously ill that Liu Bei, an alien existence, is suddenly inserted into the situation in Xuzhou, which will become more important.
Cheng Yu did not hurry to tell the situation that Xuzhou is showing now.
After hearing the other party's analysis, Cao Cao and Xun Yu on the side nodded their heads.
Cheng Yu is right.
Their views are not much different.
At this time, the eyes of the three of them all looked towards Xi Yu.
Xi Yu nodded, and looked at Cheng Yu.
"The factions that Zhong De mentioned are not much different, but you seem to have overlooked the most important point!"
"Which point?"
Almost subconsciously, Cheng Yu blurted out a question.
The factions of the forces he talked about have already been said almost, but I can't imagine that there is still a point that has not been said.
Cao Cao and Xun Yu also watched the drama and wanted to hear each other's different opinions.
"People!"
"The people of Xuzhou!"
Xi Yu opened his mouth and smiled.
When it comes to the most important existence in Xuzhou, and even the most important existence in the world, it is those ordinary people.
Whether it's a wealthy family, a nobleman, or someone else.
No one can be separated from the people.
Without ordinary people, where did the wealthy families come from?
As soon as Xi Yu said a word, the three people on the side were stunned.
These words hit the nail on the head.
What they had ignored before is now clear.
All three of them are smart people, and some things don't need to be said so thoroughly.
The common people are always an existence that cannot be ignored, and after the three of them looked at each other, they couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Listening to what Fengyi said today, I realized that I still see a little shallow after all!"
Cheng Yu sighed, how could he not figure it out with such an obvious truth.
It's just that he is a scholar himself after all, and the position he stands on is different.
Xun Yu didn't make a sound, but just looked at Xi Yu's gaze and moved slightly.
"As Zhongde said, Xuzhou's current pattern is like this!"
"Now that Tao Qian is seriously ill, I expect that he will no longer be able to survive this winter, and the Danyang forces under his command will inevitably be controlled by the rest of the people in the future."
"And the one who can control this force, I think, should be Liu Bei!"
"As for the Xuzhou Shi clan, they are only for family development, as long as they don't hurt Xuzhou's roots, these people don't care who controls Xuzhou."
"The same is true of those businessmen and wealthy families!"
"Speaking of Liu Bei, although he can inherit the power under Tao Qian, it is because of external reasons."
"The foundation is not deep, and he will succeed Xuzhou Mu in a short period of time, and he will not be able to sit firmly!"
"Nothing!"
Xi Yu commented in one breath, and he was still in his eyes for the wealthy families of the scholar family, but Liu Bei was nothing when he said it.
Liu Bei is in Xuzhou, and he is rootless at the moment.
"What else does Fengyi have to say?"
After hearing what Xi Yu said, Cao Cao couldn't help but ask.
For him, what he wants to hear more at this moment is how they should occupy the entire Xuzhou and bring Xuzhou under their command.
Seeing Cao Cao's appearance, Xi Yu instantly understood the other party's thoughts.
Xun Yu and Cheng Yu on the side are also the same.
"There is nothing wrong with our army's previous strategy, the lord just needs to continue!"
"Lord, you might as well learn from that Liu Bei!"
"There is a certain advantage of his person, which is worth learning from the lord!"
???
Cao Cao was a little stunned, learn from Liu Bei, learn from Liu Bei?
What is there to learn from that guy?
Cao Cao was puzzled, and Xun Yu and the two on the side also looked at Xi Yu.
"Benevolence!"
Xi Yu didn't deliberately sell anything, and when he saw that the three of them were looking at him, he casually told Liu Bei about the advantages of his cognition.
Liu Bei can occupy a place in Xuzhou in the current situation.
Naturally, he has his own personal charm, there is no doubt about it.
As for Xi Yu, compared with Cao Cao and others, he couldn't be clearer about Liu Bei's cognition.
Whether it is a record in the history books of later generations, or some wild history descriptions.
This point of benevolence and righteousness in Liu Bei is a point that no one can ignore.
The other party was able to win over a stall as big as Shu Han in the later stage, and benevolence and righteousness were the points that could not be covered.
And to know people with a discerning eye, to know people and make good use of them, quite the style of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty.
"Benevolence?"
Cao Cao frowned!
This thing, he despises the most, the current situation in the Han world, the princes are attacking each other!
What can righteousness count?
Of course, Cao Cao did not refute anything about Liu Bei.
He had contact with Liu Bei.
The fact that he helped Kong Rong before has already explained everything.
And its various experiences in Xuzhou cannot be ignored.
"Don't underestimate this, the lord doesn't want to underestimate this, benevolence and righteousness, although for the wealthy families, it is nothing at all."
"However, this point cannot be ignored!"
"Looking at the world, who doesn't want their immediate boss to be a little benevolent?"
"What's more, for the people of this world, what they want is this righteousness!"
"Liu Bei was able to make a great name in Xuzhou in a short period of time, precisely because of his benevolence and righteousness!"
"When I was in Anxi County, Liu Bei's name of benevolence and righteousness was famous far and wide!"
Righteousness is a sword.
A sword that is used well is invincible!
Liu Bei used this sword to create a career in the following time, but he used this sword well.
The reason why Yu let Cao Cao learn!
It is precisely because compared to Liu Bei that Cao Cao's point is too inconspicuous.
Even, if it is according to the original history.
Cao Cao is still a little brutal when he says it.
Without him, the battle of Xuzhou was a killing in itself, and the slaughter of the city was not less.
But this time because of him.
The process of Cao's army conquering Xuzhou did not carry out any slaughter of the city and hurt the people.
It is precisely because of this that Xi Yu asked Cao Cao to learn from Liu Bei.
The sword of benevolence and righteousness, Cao Cao can also use it!
Even if you can't do anything.
"What Fengyi said is good!"
"My lord should learn from it!"
After hearing Xi Yu's remarks, Xun Yu on the side nodded and smiled.
What the people of the world want is the king of benevolence and righteousness.
The people of Xuzhou also want their state pastor to be a benevolent and righteous gentleman.
Previously, Tao Qian did a good job in this regard, and it was precisely because of this that Tao Qian was able to have a good reputation in the Xuzhou business office.
Tao Qian chose Liu Bei, perhaps because of this.
"I don't have a problem with that!"
Cheng Yu smiled and nodded, and the eyes of the three of them fell on Cao Cao's body in unison.
The latter picked his eyelids.
What does that mean?!
Feelings, do you think I, Lao Cao, am not a benevolent and righteous person? -
