Chapter 9 Kindness is the most worthless thing

Cao Cao felt more and more that Chen Zhou had a great appetite for himself.

It's just that it hasn't been determined whether Chen Zhou can be reused, and further observation is needed before deciding whether to invite people out.

When Xun Yu heard Chen Zhou's bold words, he thought that Cao Cao would be angry, but when he looked sideways, he saw that Cao Cao's face was full of excitement, and there was no sign of anger at all, and he felt stunned.

Cao Ren also felt that Mr. was too bold to say such a thing.

"Yellow Turban and Cao Cao, what's the difference?"

"The yellow scarves are for temporary food and clothing, and they don't necessarily want to kill the people."

"But Cao Cao's method of slaughtering Xuzhou is to kill them all, even if they dig three feet into the ground, they are not allowed to leave a grain of grain."

"As a traitor, you should be so ruthless, unscrupulous for the sake of the end, Cao Cao implemented this very well, of course, this is also the sorrow of ordinary people in troubled times."

Chen Zhou continued.

Cao Cao was bold in doing so, but it was also one of the stains on his life.

Later generations evaluated Cao Cao and often compared the massacre with Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness.

Knowing the truth of the massacre of Xuzhou, Cao Ang was sluggish, and he couldn't accept what his father did at all, this was not to avenge his grandfather, but to kill cruelly and unjustifiably, and asked: "I see Mr.'s evaluation of Cao Gong, in fact, I also agree with Cao Gong's practice of slaughtering the city and raising soldiers?" ”

Chen Zhou thought for a while and said: "It's just that there is a certain appreciation, slaughtering the city is cruel, isn't it cruel if you don't slaughter it?" ”

"If you don't slaughter the city, you can think of other ways."

Cao Ang didn't think that the city had to be slaughtered.

Chen Zhou felt that the young man in front of him must be under the protection of the Cao family, he had never seen the sinister of the troubled times, and his thoughts were very simple, so he had to say: "If you don't slaughter the city, the surrendered yellow turbans will have nothing to eat, then it will lead to two situations, the first is that millions of people will starve to death, and the second is that the surrendered yellow turbans will rebel against Cao Cao, and millions of people will rebel at the same time, and 300,000 soldiers will hit Yanzhou again, and many people will also die!" ”

If there is a second Yellow Turban chaos in Yanzhou, it is still unknown whether Cao Cao can stop those hungry and crazy Yellow Turbans.

What's more, this time the Yellow Turban was incorporated by Cao Cao, and he went deep into Yanzhou to clearly understand the military layout of Yanzhou, and the turmoil caused would be even more powerful.

"Then you can borrow food."

Cao Ang said again.

"If you borrow grain, the nature of the collection will change."

Chen Zhou explained: "If Cao Cao can't be independent and can't be a real prince, he will be restrained by Yuan Shao. ”

"Wang Kuang did so many things for Yuan Shao back then, and later Yuan Shao didn't kill him if he wanted to, Cao Cao was worried that if he was useless, Yuan Shao would kick himself away."

"If Cao Cao fails, you Cao people, can still have a good life? He did this, in addition to wanting to become a prince, or for the sake of the family, he couldn't turn back. ”

At this time, after listening to Chen Zhou's words again, Cao Ang finally felt a lot better.

No longer so unacceptable to slaughter the city.

Cao Cao outside sighed with emotion, the person who knows himself best is really Chen Zhou.

It's hard to find a confidant!

"Didn't Gongzi say just now, if you are Cao Cao, you want to kill part of the Yellow Turban until you can afford it."

Chen Zhou said again: "How did you hear that you were slaughtering the city and raising soldiers, and you became merciful?" ”

Cao Ang said embarrassedly: "I want to kill because the yellow turbans are all thieves." ”

Kill the thief, he doesn't care.

Slaughtering the people, he couldn't accept it.

Although the Yellow Turbans used to be common people, in troubled times, as long as they were thieves for a day, tried to get something for nothing, and gained benefits through killing, those thieves could never go back.

They will not return to the people.

Therefore, when they slaughtered Xuzhou, they could slaughter without psychological pressure.

"Yesterday I also said that in troubled times, you can't be sympathetic, let alone be a virgin."

"Our Lady and mercy are the least valuable things in troubled times."

"If Gongzi wants to have a certain status in the Cao family, like Cao Ren and Cao Hong, he must abandon these."

"This is an era of cannibalism without spitting out bones."

Chen Zhou said earnestly.

Unless you can use benevolence and righteousness to the extreme like Liu Bei.

Cao Cao was excited again.

Again, these words entered his heart.

If he had been a benevolent man, he would have known who would have eaten and wiped him clean, and there would have been nothing left.

It is even less likely to be where it is today.

Cao Cao believes that Chen Zhou's teachings are very good.

Cao Ang is usually not ruthless enough, and he failed to inherit his ruthlessness, benevolence is like poison in troubled times, it will poison himself.

"Ziyu is really not ruthless enough!"

Cao Ren whispered approvingly.

In his opinion, everything Cao Cao did was right.

If they are not ruthless enough, there will be even more ruthless people who will swallow them, and there will be no scum left.

Xun Yu: "......"

He didn't know what to say for a while.

But Chen Zhou's words are not unreasonable, with Cao Cao's identity, they really need to be ruthless.

But standing outside eavesdropping, after standing for a long time, my legs are sore, looking at this situation, it seems that I have to talk for a long time.

"Sir is right!"

Cao Ang temporarily put aside the idea of slaughtering the city and raising soldiers, and was cruel.

Perhaps it is a last resort in today's environment.

Chen Zhou asked another question and asked, "Can Gongzi think of why Cao Cao chose Xuzhou?" ”

Cao Ang said: "Nominally avenging my father, this is one of them. ”

"That's right!"

Chen Zhou agrees with this reasoning.

Cao Ang said again: "Except for Tao Qian, the people around Yanzhou, Cao Gong can't beat anyone, so he can only pick the weakest Tao Qian to fight." ”

"Rebel!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he was upset again.

It's true, but you have to be tactful!

I still want to be faced!

"Don't be angry, lord, be careful to alarm the person inside."

Xun Yu said soothingly.

Worried that he would be discovered, Cao Cao could only endure it.

"Cao Cao really can't be beaten by anyone."

"Yuan Shao is Cao Cao's boss, and he definitely won't dare to fight."

"Yuan Shu is a descendant of the Yuan family, the real fourth and third duke of the Yuan family, Cao Cao dares to touch him, and he will die faster."

"Lu Bu is a hard bone, not easy to gnaw."

"Tian Kai in the north of Jizhou is Gongsun Zhan's person, and his combat power is not weak, so he is not easy to fight."

"Then around Yanzhou, only Qingzhou Kong Rong and Xuzhou Tao Qian are left, which are the two softest persimmons, but which one to pick?"

"Xuzhou, of course."

Chen Zhou's analysis made Cao Cao very hurt.

"In addition, Xuzhou is rich."

"Tao Qian is not very good in military strength, but he has a hand in the economy."

"At that time, a large number of refugees from Guanzhong fled to Xuzhou, and Tao Qian could still afford it."

"Dong Zhuo's small money has collapsed the Han economy, but Xuzhou can still have a huge wealth like Mi Zhu."

"Slaughtering Xuzhou once is more money and grain than slaughtering Qingzhou ten times."

"Xuzhou is still an important place to fight, which is conducive to future military development."

"I also said yesterday that Tao Qian is attached to Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao is attached to Yuan Shao, which can be regarded as part of the dispute between the two Yuans.

"Even if there is no death of Cao Song, Xuzhou will not be able to escape."

Chen Zhou's attack on Xuzhou was thus decided.

This battle is inevitable and cannot be avoided.

For the sake of his own princes, Cao Cao will definitely expand externally, so as to enrich his strength and gradually become stronger, until he has the ability to compete with his big brother Yuan Shao.

"If there is no Mr., I still can't figure this out."

Cao Ang sighed, thinking that his father was too much to hide from himself.

Thanks to Mr. Puzzle.

The road to the rise of their Cao family is tortuous and difficult to walk!
