Xun Yu and Guo Jia have their own opinions.

Xun Yu insisted on taking Yanzhou in the name of the Son of Heaven and winning Yanzhou with great righteousness.

Guo Jia believes that military war is inevitable, and instead of responding passively, it is better to take the initiative to send troops and compete with Liu Bei in Yanzhou.

Xun Yu is actually quite embarrassed now, when Cao Cao was still in Dongwuyang, Xun Yu had already put forward the strategy of serving the Son of Heaven to order not to be subordinate.

But now, several years later, this strategy has not really come to fruition.

Xun Yu wanted to maintain the orthodoxy of the Son of Heaven to ensure that the interests of the Yingchuan clan would not be damaged.

But I met a Liu Bei who couldn't be restrained by the Son of Heaven, and this Liu Bei also secretly controlled the three states of Qingxu and Yang, and also had supporters in Yanzhou.

This also made Cao Cao gradually disagree with Xun Yu's strategy of serving the Son of Heaven to order not to be subordinate.

So far, in addition to Guanzhong, Zhong Xuan can appease Guanzhong in the name of the Son of Heaven, the counties of Yuzhou can be pacified in the name of the Son of Heaven, and the various ethnic groups in Jingzhou can also be appeased in the name of the Son of Heaven.

In the rest of the states and counties, almost no effect.

Guanzhong has long been abandoned because of years of war and natural disasters.

Whether there is a son of heaven in Yuzhou or not is Cao Cao in charge, so he barely got the support of the Jingzhou scholars.

However, for the richest northern three states, as well as the three states of Qingxu and Yang led by Liu Bei, the Son of Heaven Order is useless.

finally put Zhang Miao Chen Gong in prison, and he could take action against Yanzhou, but Liu Bei was also robbing Yanzhou.

Can Cao Cao make Liu Bei not rob Yanzhou?

can give an order, but Liu Bei may not listen!

Liu Bei is not a fool, the situation in Nanzhou is already dominant, and if he wins Yanzhou, he can directly take Cao Cao, how can he be stupid enough not to compete with Cao Cao for Yanzhou.

Is it because Cao Cao ordered it in the name of the Son of Heaven?

Not to mention robbing Yanzhou, even if Cao Cao is beaten, Liu Xie may not support Cao Cao.

In the face of the absolute power gap, it is just a fig leaf.

Liu Bei knows this, and Cao Cao also knows it.

In terms of intimacy and alienation in terms of the current situation, Cao Cao is far inferior to Liu Bei, how can Liu Xie favor Cao Cao because of this.

"Wen Ruo is still not as ruthless as Feng Xiaoxiao after all."

Cao Cao's heart is like a mirror.

Xun Yu is talented, but Xun Yu's talent lies more in internal affairs and his unique views on the general trend of painting.

However, once Xun Yu is crushed by his opponent in the general trend of painting, it is easy to lose direction.

The general trend is controlled, even if it is a genius, it is difficult to have a good plan.

Just like Wuhou's Northern Expedition, did Wuhou really not know the difficulties of the Northern Expedition?

No, it is Wuhou who knows that the general trend is controlled, and if he can't gain an advantage in the military battle, then the entire Shuzhong will be decadent and partial because of this.

The same is true of Cao Cao's current predicament.

Xun Yu's painting of Fengtianzi was deployed by Zheng Ping, who had the foresight, a few years in advance, and was directly broken by force and forcibly broken.

No matter how clever your strategy is, if you can't control the general trend, you will fall into decline.

However, for Xun Yu, Xun Yu did not believe that his strategy had failed, so in terms of decision-making, he was less ruthless and decisive like Guo Jia.

Guo Jia is different.

Big strategy, Guo Jia is not good at it, and he doesn't like to draw big strategy.

Guo Jia prefers military battles, as long as the military battles are won, any strategy of the opponent will be useless.

No matter how Liu Bei painted Yanzhou, his purpose was to get Yanzhou.

Now that we know the opponent's purpose and cannot gain a strategic advantage, we should directly solve the dilemma by means of military struggle.

With strength to break the skill, invincible and unfavorable.

Cao Cao frowned and pondered.

In the way of military struggle, Cao Cao did not think about it, and it was precisely because he thought about it that Cao Cao would be more cautious.

On the battlefield of Xuzhou and Huainan, Cao Cao was defeated by Zheng Ping one after another, and Cao Cao did not have much confidence in the military battle.

However, in today's situation, Cao Cao has to favor Guo Jia's military strategy.

If Liu Bei is allowed to win Yanzhou, Cao Cao will be no different from Liu Xie.

General Liu Bei of the left took the merits of Dingyanzhou, and if he went further, he would have to be one of the chariot cavalry, hussars and Wei generals.

Dong Cheng's chariot cavalry general is almost a vain position, but if Liu Bei becomes a chariot general, it will be even more difficult for Cao Cao to restrain Liu Bei.

After a long time, Cao Cao had more determination in his heart.

"Wen Ruo, don't fight anymore."

"The preparation of money and grain is handed over to you, and I will decide to go to Yanzhou in person."

Cao Cao is not like Yuan Shao, and it will be difficult to make a decision because of the disputes of the strategists.

The reason why I asked Xun Yu and Guo Jia was that Cao Cao actually had a strategy in his heart, but he just wanted to hear if Xun Yu and Guo Jia had anything similar to the strategy in their hearts.

If both Xun Yu and Guo Jia oppose the strategy of military contention, Cao Cao will weigh whether it is too impulsive.

And now, Guo Jia's strategy is very similar to what Cao Cao thinks, which makes Cao Cao have more confidence in what he thinks.

Xun Yu was still ready to persuade again, but seeing Cao Cao's firm eyes, he swallowed back the words in his heart, and said: "If Duke Ming wants to go to Yanzhou in person, he can first give Liu Bei a holy decree and let Liu Bei send troops to the Northern Expedition." ”

"Although Liu Bei may not necessarily be edicted, but the Ming Duke will go to Yanzhou in person, and he must have taken advantage of the righteousness."

Guo Jia was noncommittal about Xun Yu's way of doing this.

At this time, Liu Bei was given an edict to the Northern Expedition, and Liu Bei could directly push it off with a reason of "the soldiers and horses do not move, and the grain and grass go first", and he might even cry to Cao Cao.

For example, "The Northern Expedition consumed a lot of money and grain, and I implore the air conditioner to allocate money and grain." If this is the case, will Cao Cao give money and food or not?

In the palace.

Knowing that Cao Cao was going to Yanzhou, Liu Xie's eyes were a little more worried.

Now Cao Cao no longer pretends to be a loyal minister, and his actions are becoming more and more unscrupulous, and many major events are just informed to Liu Xie.

For example, when he sent troops to Yanzhou, Cao Cao only sent someone to inform Liu Xie, saying, "Zang Hong is seriously ill, and Yanzhou is an important place to resist Yuan rebellion, so you can't lose it." And then they went out.

Cao Cao didn't even want to come to see Liu Xie!

"Zongzheng, if you go back to Jingzhou, can you still order everyone in Jingzhou?" Liu Xie looked at the new Zongzheng Liu Biao beside him and asked.

Liu Biao shook his head helplessly: "The minister has the love of His Majesty, and the rebels this time are the Cai family and the Kuai family." ”

"In the past, the minister rode into Jingzhou alone, relying on the people of these two clans, and the people of the two clans also served in important civil and military positions in Jingzhou."

"The minister did not hesitate to marry Cai Mao's widowed sister, and ordered Cong'er to marry Cai Mao's niece, just to delay time and give the minister time to cultivate cronies."

"It's a pity that the time is not subordinate."

"Cai Mao, a thief, will rebel against the minister."

"Cai Mao is here, and the minister will die when he returns to Jingzhou."

Liu Xie couldn't help but hammer his fist on the table: "This group of thieves, hereditary Hanlu, but one by one seeks their own selfish interests and refuses to serve the country. ”

"One day, if I really take power, I will destroy this group of thieves to vent my anger!"

Liu Biao silently did not answer.

Liu Xie's anger can be understood by Liu Biao, but Liu Biao's thoughts are secretly shaken his head.

It's still too naïve!

Even Emperor Guangwu only dared to give preferential treatment to the clan, but did not dare to really uproot the clan.

If the world is in chaos, the world will be in chaos.

If the family is stable, the world will be safe.

That's the reality!

"Zongzheng, I want to give Uncle Huang a secret edict, so that Uncle Huang will send troops to Yanzhou, and it is best to keep Cao Cao in Yanzhou." A hint of murderous intent flashed in Liu Xie's eyes.

Originally, Liu Xie wanted to use Liu Bei to balance Cao Cao, but Cao Cao's move to seize Jingzhou made Liu Xie feel a crisis.

Liu Biao is in Jingzhou, which is also recognized by Liu Xie.

With Liu Biao here, Liu Xie can use Liu Biao's power to balance Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

However, although Liu Xie learned the art of imperial balance, he could not really use it.

Seeing that Jingzhou had also become Cao Cao's power, Liu Xie was a little panicked.

If he thought about letting Cao Cao and Liu Bei check and balance each other, Liu Xie was afraid that Cao Cao's power would become bigger and bigger, and eventually he would become like Dong Zhuo.

Liu Biao looked at Liu Xie with some surprise, but soon this surprise disappeared again.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, General Zuo is not a pedantic person."

"If you see Cao Cao sending troops to Yanzhou, General Zuo will not sit idly by."

"Instead of giving General Zuo a secret edict, it is better to take the opportunity to contact the loyal people of Xu Du, if Cao Cao wins, he will take advantage of his great victory to neglect his vigilance and set up a banquet to kill him; If Cao Cao is defeated, he will take advantage of his declining army and have no fighting spirit and set up a banquet to capture him. ”

The defeat of Jingzhou is not because Liu Biao is incompetent, but because the two Cai Kui families are too powerful, and once they betray, Liu Biao can only sit and wait for death.

Liu Biao dared to use the power of Cai Kuo's two families to trap and kill more than 50 thieves in the past, and now he also dares to use the power of Liu Xie and Gongqing to trap Cao Cao.

Seeing that Liu Biao put forward a specific countermeasure, Liu Xie couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Zongzheng's words are very in line with my intentions. I have many Cao Cao's spies around me, and it is inconvenient for me to act, so I am troubled by Zongzheng to contact loyal people on my behalf. ”

"As long as I can help me regain power, Zongzheng can be Situ!"

Clenched his fists, Liu Xie secretly vowed: This time, I must regain power, I am the son of the Han Dynasty!

Cao Cao's decision to send troops in person surprised Cao Ang: "If there is a child, why should my father go to Yanzhou in person?" ”

Liu Biao's provocation still affected Cao Ang's heart.

The sentence "Cao Zixuan, you are worthy of being the son of Cao Sikong, treacherous and bold, full of scheming, among the famous sons, I am afraid that only the son of Kang Chenggong can beat you." It really made Cao Ang a little uncomfortable.

fledgling, as if there was an invincible momentum in the world, descending Zhang Xiu, saying Zhang Xian, and Dingjingzhou, which made Cao Ang a little floating.

Therefore, Cao Ang gave up his original plan to continue to pacify the Jingzhou scholars in the four counties of Jingnan, and instead returned to Xudu to go to Yanzhou to help Lü Bu.

Cao Ang wants to prove that he is also a famous son, and Zheng Ping is just a few years before his debut.

The only one who can really be regarded as an opponent by Cao Ang is Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan.

Therefore, as soon as he heard that Yuan Tan was going to fight Liaodong, Cao Ang was anxious to go south to Jingzhou.

The success of Jingzhou also made Cao Ang overestimate his ability, and ignored the prestige of Cao Cao and the Son of Heaven behind him, thinking that although there would be some twists and turns in going to Yanzhou, it would inevitably succeed.

Cao Cao knew Cao Ang's thoughts, and said in a condensed voice: "Yanzhou is a very important matter, Ang'er must not be negligent, this time you and I father and son go together, and nothing goes wrong." ”

Cao Ang saw Cao Cao's insistence, so he could only sigh secretly.

With Cao Cao going, it can't be compared with Zheng Ping.

In the second year of Xingping, in September.

Cao Cao personally supervised the army to Chenliu, and then stationed troops and horses in Dongjun, Jiyin County, and Shanyang County, and Liu Bei in Qingzhou also received the edict of the Son of Heaven's Northern Expedition.

"This must be my uncle's plan!" Xun Yu saw through Xun Yu's strategy at a glance, and said: "At this time, the Northern Expedition will make it difficult for Jun to be in a stalemate with Yuan Wei, and Cao Cao can take the opportunity to seize Yanzhou and fortify it according to the Yellow River." ”

Liu Bei also knew the severity, and said: "But after all, it is the edict of the Son of Heaven, if you don't obey the edict, wouldn't it be true?" ”

Xun You chuckled: "Although my uncle knows the general trend, he is too pedantic. Since ancient times, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass have gone first. ”

"The Northern Expedition was a major event, and a lot of money and grain were consumed, so that Jun Ke sent people back to Cao Cao, saying that Qingzhou was short of grain, and asked Cao Cao to transfer money and grain to Taishan County."

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this: "If you deal with the lack of money and food, you can do it." It's just that why did Gongda ask Cao Cao to transfer money and grain to Taishan County? ”

Xun You said with a smile: "Yuzhou does not border Qingzhou, and the reason for Cao Cao to transport grain to Taishan County is to give the envoy a reason to garrison Taishan County and cooperate with the plan." ”

Liu Bei stroked his palms and laughed: "What Gongda said is very good, Ying Taishou has a good friendship with Bei, and Bei wants to garrison troops, and Ying Taishou will not object." ”

Ordered Sun Jian to strictly guard against Yan Liang in Nanpi City, and Liu Bei gathered the soldiers of each battalion and secretly went to Taishan County.

When he arrived in Taishan County, Liu Bei found out that Cao Cao had also sent troops to Chenliu, and at the same time divided his troops into Dongjun, Shanyang and Jiyin Counties.

Although Cao and Liu's troop transfers have their own reasons in name, they have actually figured out each other's intentions.

No matter how nice it sounds, it's all for the sake of robbing Yanzhou.

Now there is a reason to go, who will send troops first.

Shou Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Fei was indignant: "Lu Bu is really lucky, if it weren't for Cao Cao, the bastard, who went to Chenliu, Lu Bu would have been slaughtered by me." ”

This urn has been laid down, but Lu Bu didn't come, and the depression in Zhang Fei's heart can be imagined.

Zheng Ping on the side didn't lose his temper at all, and shook his fan with a chuckle: "Why should Yide be angry." Lu Bu is just a dog, but Cao Cao is a tiger, and it is a blessing to lose the dog and get the tiger! ”

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, and then rejoiced: "Lost the dog and got the tiger?" What do you mean, military advisor, you want to kill Cao Cao? ”

Zheng Ping didn't nod or shake his head: "One of the purposes of Yanzhou's deployment is to target Cao Cao, and now Cao Cao has come to Yanzhou ahead of schedule, although some deployments will not be effective, but it will not have much impact on my overall deployment." ”

Zhang Fei laughed: "I know that it is impossible for a military advisor to suffer." Originally, I just wanted to trap a dog, but now I can trap a tiger, which is really a happy thing! ”

"Strategist, I want to make a meritorious contribution, you can't favor the second brother!"

"The second brother is a pastor in Xuzhou, and it's useless to take the first credit."

"I haven't made many military merits yet, if I can't get the first merit, the military academy of the Rui Shi Battalion will not be convinced."

Zheng Ping chuckled: "Didn't Yide say that he wanted to single out Lu Bu and then capture Lu Bu alive?" This credit is given to Yun Chang? ”

Zhang Fei waved his hand and said with a big grin: "How can you capture Lu Bu alive and Cao Cao happy?" captured Cao Cao alive, and my Ruishi battalion is the first battalion of Qingzhou worthy of the name. ”

"As for Lu Bu, let it be given to the second brother, the second brother often regrets not being able to kill Lu Bu, and this time it is as the second brother wishes."

"I captured Cao Cao, I must be able to be a Yanzhou pastor, right?"
