Chapter 16 What the Way Forward Should Be Taken
After defeating Lu Bu and recapturing Yanzhou.
Cao Cao did have the idea of going to fight Guo Gong to take revenge, not to mention that he himself is from Yuzhou, and the core strategists around him are also from Yingchuan, Yuzhou, and he must fight back.
Chen Zhou's thoughts coincide with his.
"Sir understands me!"
Cao Cao once again let out such an exclamation.
He felt that he had really met a confidant, but it was a pity that this confidant had a special identity, and with his suspicious personality, he couldn't drink and talk for the time being.
"After beating Guo Gong, we will welcome the Son of Heaven."
"But in order to obey the Son of Heaven and not obey, there is still a premise."
Chen Zhou said again.
Dian Wei instinctively asked, "What premise?" ”
"Move the capital!"
Chen Zhou said: "Move the capital to Yingchuan, take the Son of Heaven to leave Luoyang, and leave the core of the Manchu ministers, so that Cao Cao will not be influenced by those ministers, and at the same time weaken the power of the ministers and monopolize power." Cao Cao has a greater advantage in Yingchuan, and after moving the capital to Yingchuan, he can do whatever he wants, and only in this way is the real Fengtianzi to order not to obey. ”
Yingchuan is still the territory of Xun Yu and others.
If you bring the Son of Heaven to Yingchuan, you can indeed do a lot of things.
Xun Yu and the others nodded slightly, thinking that this idea was still feasible.
"But it's not easy to take the Son of Heaven to move the capital."
Cheng Yu shook his head and said: "Although Guo Yan and Li Dao attack each other, there are still Yang Feng, Zhang Yang, Han Xian and others around the Son of Heaven, who hold the military power and will definitely not let us take the Son of Heaven away." ”
Xi Zhong said: "It is precisely because Yang Feng and others are here, and there are the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, who will make the lord restrain his hands, that gentleman proposed to move the capital and leave Luoyang, he went deeper than Gongda thought." ”
"That's right!"
Xun You nodded approvingly: "I just thought of welcoming the Son of Heaven according to Mao Xiaoxian's words, but what to do after welcoming the Son of Heaven, at this time, it suddenly became clear, in fact, it is not difficult to get rid of Han Xian and others, if the lord wants to move the capital, there is one biggest obstacle." ”
"Who?"
Cao Cao immediately asked.
"Yuan Shao!"
Xun You said: "He knows that the lord wants to take the Son of Heaven away, and he may block it, I don't know if the gentleman inside has ever thought about dealing with Yuan Shao?" ”
The eldest brother Yuan Shao has always been a big mountain pressing on Cao Cao's head.
When he heard Chen Zhou talk about moving the capital, his eyes lit up, but when he heard Xun You mention Yuan Shao, his light seemed to be instantly blocked by the rising sun.
"Yuan Benchu is my biggest obstacle!" Cao Cao said in his heart.
According to Chen Zhou's words, Cao Ang thought about it deeply, and it was not difficult to understand the reason for moving the capital.
Cao Cao has no foundation in Luoyang, and Han Xian and others are there, if King Qin continues to stay in Luoyang, he basically can't do anything, only on his own territory, can he do whatever he wants and display his ambitions.
However, he asked what Cao Cao wanted to know most.
"Yuan Shao shouldn't watch Cao Gong take away the Son of Heaven, right?"
Cao Ang thought that the strategic significance of the Son of Heaven was very important, and now Yuan Shao didn't care, but seeing that Cao Cao had taken people away, he might have other ideas.
"Yuan Shao is very easy to solve."
"This man is very timid and scheming; Do big things and spare your life, and forget your life when you see small profits. ”
"As long as the Son of Heaven gives him a little reward, makes him a general, and leads the affairs of the four northern states, Cao Cao will pretend to stoop under Yuan Shao, continue to admit that Yuan Shao is the big brother, and praise Yuan Shao, and he will be able to stabilize people."
"In this way, Yuan Shao will not intervene to welcome the Son of Heaven, and he can fight with Gongsun Chan with confidence."
Chen Zhou analyzed.
Cao Cao lowered his voice and said: "I have known Yuan Benchu for many years, and his character is exactly like this!" Mr. can even know Yuan Shao's nature, and then use his personality to stabilize it, what a clever plan! ”
"I'm not as good as him!"
Xi Zhong, who was very unconvinced just now, said convincingly at this time.
They continued to listen.
"Welcome the Son of Heaven, after Cao Cao has a reputation, he will be able to solve Yuan Shu."
Chen Zhou's voice sounded again: "I said that Yuan Shu must rebel, and then Cao Cao will be able to issue the order of the Son of Heaven to crusade against Yuan Shu, just like the crusade against Dong Zhuo back then." After this battle, Yuan Shu will die, and the lord can still successfully take Xuzhou. ”
"While we are fighting Yuan Shu, how can we fight Xuzhou again?"
Cao Ang questioned again.
"It's easy!"
"In the name of the Son of Heaven, I ordered Liu Bei and Lu Bu in Xuzhou to fight Yuan Shu together."
"Liu Bei claims to be a member of the Han family, and he will definitely send troops."
"As for Lu Bu, it doesn't matter if he can't send troops or not."
"At the same time, if you plot against Sun Ce and the others, as I said, they will definitely oppose Yuan Shu and seize this opportunity to get out of Yuan Shu's control."
"Cao Cao only needs to send part of his troops to suppress Huainan, and then use Sun Ce as the main force to attack Yuan Shu, so that he can divide his troops to deal with Xuzhou, and he can fight on two fronts."
"But before fighting Xuzhou, you have to pick the relationship between Lu Bu and Liu Bei."
"Lu Bu and Liu Bei are not in harmony, and Xuzhou can't tolerate two tigers in one mountain, when Liu Bei went to war, we sent out a letter to recruit Liu Bei and join forces with Liu Bei to deal with Lu Bu, so it happened that it was intercepted by Lu Bu, and Xuzhou would be very exciting."
After Chen Zhou finished speaking, the private room first quieted down.
After hearing this, Cao Ang was thinking about whether it was reasonable to do so.
Dian Wei was simply listening, because it was difficult for him to understand when he listened, so he didn't bother his brain at all, and he just listened to it.
But when he heard this, he lay down on the desk and took a nap.
It's like a scumbag listening to a math class.
"It works, it works!"
Xi Zhong first agreed: "If Yuan Shu really trespasses, we can take Xuzhou and defeat Lu Bu while dealing with Yuan Shu, and when we get Xuzhou, we will concentrate on Xuzhou's grain and grass and troops, and attack Yuan Shu in an all-round way!" ”
Zhong Xuan analyzed: "Once Yuan Shu transgresses, the families in Huainan and other places may not be willing to support him anymore, and his strength is definitely not as strong as at the beginning, and Sun Ce alone can contain him." After the lord got Xuzhou, he was more confident, and he joined forces with Sun Ce to attack, and Yuan Shu would die. ”
"The only problem is that the lord slaughtered too much in Xuzhou, and he may not be able to make Xuzhou obey."
Xun Yu's words were like a basin of cold water poured on his head.
Cao Cao was originally quite excited after listening to their analysis, but Xun Yu's basin of cold water made him frown again.
At that time, if Xuzhou was not slaughtered, where did the money and food come from to feed the surrendered yellow turbans?
"Cao Gong is so cruel to Xuzhou, can he really make everyone in Xuzhou obedient?"
Cao Ang helped Cao Cao and them again and asked this question.
Chen Zhou said: "This time to fight Xuzhou, just don't kill again!" Governing Xuzhou with Xuzhou people, supporting Chen Deng and other scholars, and showing goodwill to the scholars, can still be recognized. ”
"That's right!"
Cheng Yu clapped his hands and said: "As long as the lord shows his sincerity and is willing to support the Chen family and recruit other scholars, it is not impossible. ”
"Sir, you're really amazing!"
Cao Ren's admiration for Chen Zhou is like a surging river, endless.
There are not many people who can make Xun Yu and their scribes full of praise, and even admire, and Mr. is definitely the first.
Cao Cao secretly thought: "I must get it, such a unicorn talent!" ”
In any case, you have to tie Chen Zhou to your side, if you can't do it, then keep Chen Zhou in a prison cell.
