When Liu Bei and the three were preparing, Cao Cao was also talking with Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others.

"This Liu Xuande, what do you think?"

Cao Cao asked Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, and Cheng Yu was the first to speak.

"This man is a great enemy, and now he has a reputation, and he is very forbearing, and he often becomes a big thing, and he is not informal.

However, short-sightedness can be worry-free for the time being. ”

After Cheng Yu finished speaking, Cao Cao smiled, and then looked at Xun Yu, who immediately spoke.

"Liu Xuande, like a hidden dragon in the abyss, now Wu Guan Yu, Zhang Fei as the arm, there is still a lack of a wise man, and the general trend of the world has not settled, if there are strategists to complement each other, it will definitely achieve a career.

Liu Xuande is also known as the name of benevolence and righteousness, however, success is also famous, defeat is also famous, the name of benevolence and righteousness, when the foundation is not completed, it is of great help, but once the foundation is successful, it will be bound by this!

And there is the name of the Han family, but it has not yet distinguished the true from the false, but I think there will be no fake, this time to capture Xuzhou, Liu Bei can be temporarily managed, Xuzhou erosion, in a short period of time, can not be expanded, will be limited to Liu Bei in Xuzhou.

When the lord Yanzhou is restored, the life and death of Xuzhou will only be in the mind of the lord. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately laughed even more.

"What Wen Ruo and Zhong De said is very true, this Liu Bei, although he has the name of benevolence and righteousness, is also a relative of the Han family, and is very good at forbearance, decisive, and has the ambition of the king of Yue, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are the arms.

But the defects are indeed not small, their own ability is lacking, and their vision is short-sighted, only a wise man is missing, even if he is given a state of Xuzhou, he is categorically unable to become bigger, both care about reputation, enjoy the benefits brought by the name of benevolence and righteousness, and have a foundation after you have to bring the shackles brought by the name of benevolence and righteousness.

This time, as long as we kill Lu Bu and use Liu Bei to resist Yuan Shu, we will have a chance to develop and recover, and I have to thank Liu Bei well. ”

After Cao Cao finished speaking, several people immediately laughed.

For Liu Bei, Cao Cao's views can be said to be similar, they will be the enemy in the future, but now, it can't be talked about, and once the general trend of the world is settled, even if Liu Bei has a wise man, it will be useless.

Now that Liu Bei is bound in Xuzhou, Liu Bei wants to develop, it is even more difficult, and he has to face Yuan Shu's possible attack at any time, and Xuzhou is under their noses, as long as Yanzhou recovers, Liu Bei is just a caged bird.

Just when a few people were chatting, a small group of people dressed up quickly came to Cao Cao.

"The head of the family, the military advisor asked the head of the family to go as soon as possible, saying that there is something important to discuss."

When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately stood up and immediately ran out, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu glanced at each other, and they also followed.

Cao Cao's heart was full of panic at the moment, the whole person seemed to be extremely flustered, his heart was in his throat, Xi Zhicai's illness was getting worse and worse, and Cao Cao had been looking for famous doctors for Xi Zhicai to diagnose and treat him, but after countless famous doctors diagnosed and treated, there was no effect.

Since the beginning of this year, Cao Cao has asked Xi Zhicai to recuperate quietly, and after his body recovers, he will give him advice, but now, Xi Zhicai suddenly asked people to call him, how can he not let Cao Cao worry.

Cao Cao's pace is getting faster and faster, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, who are following Cao Cao, are also full of solemnity, what they think is almost the same as what Cao Cao thinks, they are worried from the bottom of their hearts, this is probably the last side of Xi Zhicai.

Although Xun Yu and Cheng Yu walked very fast and almost ran, their breath was not messy, the scholars of this era paid attention to the six arts of gentlemen, and they did not fall.

The six arts of the gentleman, namely: etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics, among these six items, archery and royalty, for martial arts, so in this era, you can see that many scribes will wear a long sword around their waists, which is not an ornament, but others really have martial arts, but they can't compare to those martial artists who have learned martial arts since childhood.

Ordinary people, three or five can't get close to these people who really learn the six arts of a gentleman, which is also the reason why the great talents of this era are relatively omnipotent.

Therefore, don't think that these scribes of this era are weak and invincible, especially the scribes of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, who are more courageous.

In front of these people, on the contrary, many people seem weak.

It's just that these scholars disdain to do things with others, and in the eyes of Confucianism, this is a vulgar act.

Cao Cao soon came to Xi Zhicai's room.

"Zhicai, Zhicai, is your body better? is still waiting for Zhicai to get better and then drink together to realize the great ambition in his heart, but there must be nothing wrong with Zhicai. ”

At this time, Cao Cao's true feelings were revealed, and Xi Zhicai's help to Cao Cao could not be ignored, it can be said that without Xi Zhicai, there would be no Cao Cao at this time, and Xi Zhi was the first scribe who really took refuge in him directly, even Xun Yu came to his Cao Cao after staying with Yuan Shao.

Xi Zhicai's face was pale, and the whole person seemed very spiritless, and he coughed violently from time to time.

"Lord, there is no obstacle in the bottom, Zhicai is also looking forward to drinking and talking with the lord, and the moment when the ambition in his heart is realized together, the lord, can you get up under the help, this is lying down, and I really can't adapt to it."

When Cao Cao heard this, he carefully helped Xi Zhicai up.

"Zhicai, listen to the, you have a good rest now, and when your condition improves, you will come to help,, I've been waiting for you."

Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao's concerned and nervous expression, his heart was warm, but his eyes were a little gloomy, he knew his own condition, but he didn't want to talk to Cao Cao.

"There is a lord who said this, and he will definitely be able to get better, and this time I called the lord to come to ask Yanzhou what has happened recently?"

When Cao Cao heard this, he hesitated for a while, Xi Zhicai saw it in his eyes, and coughed again, so frightened that Cao Cao hurriedly poured a cup of hot water for Xi Zhicai.

"Lord, please don't hide it, please tell the truth, now that the situation in Yanzhou is critical, the time left for us is getting less and less, Yuan Shao's unification of Hebei is imminent, we can't delay it any longer."

Listening to Xi Zhicai's words, Cao Cao gritted his teeth and told Xi Zhicai about the two battles with Lu Bu, as well as Liu Bei's arrival and the agreed dispatch of troops, as well as the surrounding situation.

After hearing this, Xi Zhicai suddenly coughed even more.

"Zhicai, you can rest and recuperate, these things can be done well, and if there is a text, Zhicai can recuperate with peace of mind."

Xi Zhicai listened to Cao Cao's words, but shook his head, and then slowly spoke.

"Lord, according to what you said, there must have been a change in Lu Bu, although I don't know how, but it must be different from before, since it was agreed that Liu Bei would send troops to Xuzhou this time, did the lord ever think that we would not give him a way to live, once he took refuge in Yuan Shu, what should he do if he collected troops and joined Yuan Shu to attack Yanzhou?

Although the possibility is small, it does not mean that there is none, the most important thing for the lord this time is to redeem Zixiao and Yuan Rang, Wen Qian and them, especially Wen Qian, are handsome talents, they must be the first in every battle, and they will conquer everything, and the name of the first will be passed on in the army, and they must not be saved.

As for Liu Bei, don't worry about him, if he wants to continue to attack Xuzhou, let him go, if he returns, let him garrison to resist the possible attack of Xuzhou.

After the lord rescued Zixiao and them, the most important thing is the land of Yuzhou, Xuzhou is now mixed with many forces, it is not suitable to take it in a short time, first attack the land of Yuzhou, compress Yuan Shu, and then choose the opportunity to recover Xuzhou.

Yuan Shao of Jizhou, after the defeat of Gongsun Zhan, must cross the Yellow River and march to the Central Plains, we must accumulate enough strength before Yuan Shao unifies Hebei, and then we will have the opportunity to fight with Yuan Shao.

At that time, as long as Yuan Shao is defeated and slowly collected from all parts of Hebei, in the world, when no one can stop the footsteps of the lord, the lord's ambition will definitely be realized.

And if Xuzhou Lu Bu is not uprooted in the end, the lord must prevent Lu Bu from marching to Yuzhou, and only by entering Yuzhou will Xuzhou have a chance to break the situation.

If there is really no way in the end, Lu Bu will take the land of Yuzhou, then he will unite with Lu Bu to resist Yuan Shao, and this is the only way to survive.

If Yuan Shao is defeated, the lord must seize the land of Hanoi and Jizhou, and it is okay for the land of Qingzhou to be given to Lu Bu, only in this way can the lord occupy the general trend.

As mentioned below, it is all based on the fact that when Yuan Shao went south, Lu Bu was still there, if Lu Bu could be eliminated as soon as possible, it would be the best.

The lord must remember that the most important thing at the moment is Yuzhou, as long as Yuzhou is occupied and Lu Bu is in Xuzhou, there is only one way to die, either to be destroyed by the lord, or to resist Yuan Shao together, and then be destroyed by the lord.

Liu Bei doesn't need to care about this person for the time being, even if he will rise in the future, but by that time, the lord will already occupy the general trend of the world, and he, Liu Bei, can't change the final outcome.

Now that Yuan Shao is there, although the lord goes to borrow grain, he can send the eldest son to Yuan Shao in exchange for Yuan Shao's strong support.

At that time, Yuan Shao will not only increase his support, but will not leave the eldest son, and then with these supports, he will quickly restore the combat strength of the army, and then send troops to Yuzhou as soon as possible. ”
