Chapter 179 Cao Cao: On military strategy and politics, which of you can compare with Xi Yu?
Cao Cao's eyes fell on Xiahou Dun, who was taller than him.
He stretched out his hand, grabbed the other person's wrist decisively, and brought the other person directly to Xia Houyuan and others.
Immediately, he sat cross-legged on the ground.
"Yuan Rang, wonderful talent!"
"You are all my brothers, Cao Cao, connected by blood!"
"I thought you would know what I was thinking!"
"Cao raised his troops from the Yellow Turban and you followed me. Why don't I understand in my heart the friendship between you and me?"
"The reason why Cao has come this far is because of the hard work and hard work of you brothers to stand in this high position in the court!"
"It's just that your vision is limited after all!"
"Just like this, we must capture Hanoi and other places during this expedition!"
Cao Ren is a stable guy, and with his opponent stationed in Xuzhou, Xuzhou basically doesn't have to worry much about Cao Cao.
Now, it will be the first day of September soon.
This is like asking him directly how to deal with it in the future!
Conflicts caused by interests are easy to resolve now, but what about later!
At that time, Xi Yu often gave him advice on how to deal with matters in Xuzhou.
And Xiyu can do such a thing!
Because the water source is insufficient, what kind of water wheel can the other party come up with?
It was precisely because Cao Cao knew it that he rushed to lead his troops to the expedition.
"Brother, I was wrong!"
The four thousand soldiers recruited still need to be trained, and it is only a day or two before the Xuchang school starts.
Cao Cao's words were true, and every word pointed directly at the true intentions of Xiahou Dun and others.
However, what has been most frequently published in newspapers and periodicals these days is the Xuchang School incident.
While Xi Yu was busy with the enrollment matters of Xuchang School, he was far away in Wu County, the land of Wu County.
Cao Ren chuckled.
Now that Cao Cao's power is expanding, it stands to reason that Xiahou Dun and others will also benefit from this.
"Zixiao, I just remembered, aren't you still stationed in Xuzhou? You've been delaying your return since the Mid-Autumn Festival for a long time!"
"If not, send Zhongmou to that school to study!"
Once there are some interests that even Cao Cao himself feels are problematic, how should we deal with them?
"Brother, although I have no objection to Fengyi, I even accepted his advice when I was in Xuzhou!"
"Yuan Rang, the decision is still undecided today, we still need to look at the long term!"
However, this matter has been revealed.
Cao Cao couldn't help but look out through the window of the main hall.
Then they don't have to worry about anything.
"You all have heard of what Xi Fengyi has done before. Dare you ask Yuan Rang, if I just ignored Xi Yu!"
After a heart-to-heart talk, Cao Cao was able to stabilize Xiahou Dun and others.
???
Xia Houyuan bowed, and Cao Hong and others also followed suit.
He didn't have the slightest opinion on the arrangements for the expedition.
Cao Cao's power will eventually continue to grow little by little, and the bigger the cake, the more careful Cao Cao must be if he wants to divide it.
Hand over to Cao Ren?
He had already made preparations to go on an expedition with Cao Cao, but at this moment, he took over from Cao Cao but was suddenly asked to garrison in Xuzhou.
But that was not what Cao Ren wanted.
Upon hearing this, Cao Cao raised his eyes and glanced at the other party.
Cao Ren spoke, and when he heard that it was about going on an expedition, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel relieved.
Cao Cao immediately made his decision.
"Brother, I also know what happened to Yuan Rang and others. Although I understand what brother is thinking, there are some things that have been suppressed today. What if they come up again in the future?"
He was unsure.
"What's more, the New Deal strategy formulated by Xi Yu, without Xi Yu, I guarantee that if there is a problem with the New Deal, I can easily handle it!"
At the same time, I learned that Xiahou Dun and others had left Xuchang and gone to Xuzhou.
Previously, when he was stationed in Xuzhou and Xi Yu was transporting military supplies, there had been contact between the two.
Originally, after Xia Houdun came to see Cao Cao, they were somewhat worried.
Cao Cao nodded, and Cao Ren slowly sat down opposite Cao Cao.
Upon hearing this, Cao Ren subconsciously shook his head.
What's more, Xi Yu's improved papermaking technology and other things have already brought a lot of buffer to Cao Cao's economy.
But he knew that if it weren't for Xi Yu, it would have taken much, much longer for him to pacify the world!
The main hall fell silent.
"What's the matter with Zixiao?"
Now that he has returned to Xuchang, he is thinking about pushing this matter out and asking Lao Cao to replace him and go to Xuzhou to garrison.
Because of the frostbite, the other party was able to create refined stone nirvana, and they were all the beneficiaries of this.
If the other party is stationed in Xuzhou, he will feel more at ease.
Cao Cao's voice paused, and he raised his head to look at Xiahou Dun in front of him.
…
At this time, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were also paying attention to the affairs of Xuchang School.
Zhao Yun and others who were staying in the guard camp couldn't help but look at each other.
"Brother, this time I march westward to conquer Sili and other places, I want to follow my brother and send troops together!"
Like Yuan Shao, this year's autumn harvest, the food supply is comparable to that of the other two states.
However, his purpose of coming to Cao Cao this time was not just that. On the one hand, he had been stationed in Xuzhou for two years.
"It seems that guy Guo Fengxiao is right. Cao Sikong really didn't take this matter to heart!"
At this time, Sun Ce couldn't help but complain. The report on Xuchang School took up a large space in the newspaper, and there were also a few articles that he wanted to read.
Who among those who want to be a general wants to just be a general who defends the city?
"Brother, I have a proposal!"
Although Cao Cao never forgot him when he was awarded the title of meritorious service.
He was a little startled, but at this moment, Xiahou Dun and others had not left for a long time, but Xu Chu from outside came in and informed him that Cao Ren was coming.
After the words fell, Cao Ren nodded subconsciously.
Not only the children of major aristocratic families, but also ordinary people and their children were watching outside Xuchang School.
Every time he read the content, sometimes he could even gain some insights from the articles written by some scholars.
This time he intended to follow Cao Cao into the west.
When Cao Ren came in, the look on his face was normal.
I don't think Xiahou Dun and others can think of so much sometimes.
No one knows what happened.
Cao Cao paid no attention to this matter.
Only by capturing more areas and establishing more intuitive credits can we be able to overwhelm Xi Yu’s credits!
Now, he has no intention of asking Xi Yu to follow him on the expedition.
"No, my brother asked Yuan Rang to deliver the goods to me, and he sent Yuan Rang to stay in Xuzhou for the time being!"
On the other hand, as Cao Ren said, transferring Xiahou Dun away from Xuchang will also reduce the contact between him and Xi Yu.
When will this troubled world be brought to peace, and how long will it take?
For him, they are all good choices.
In this age where entertainment is extremely scarce, this stuff has now become a daily must-see among Confucian scholars all over the world.
Xiahou Dun, who received the edict, immediately felt a little unhappy.
"Now that the baggage camp has separated from Cao's army, the food and fodder needs to be reorganized!"
After calling Xu Chu to let Cao Ren in, Cao Cao sat on the straw mat and waited for Cao Ren.
It will always record some things that are happening in the Han Dynasty today, and there will also be articles contributed by some scholars.
When he had no money to pay troops, he even set up a team to dig up ancestral graves. But now, with Xi Yu around, he only has more money.
If the Hanoi area is captured, Cao Cao will not have to worry about Yuan Shao using the Hanoi area to march towards Xuchang.
Cao Cao opened his mouth to ask, and then smiled: "Is it possible that he is like Yuan Rang and others?"
After all, conflicts have arisen and were resolved for a while, but how to resolve them next time?
Cao Ren asked, and Cao Cao was stunned subconsciously.
He thought that Cao Ren was just like Xiahou Dun and others. Thinking about what he just said, he might have to say it again.
It is said that the school recruits students, starting from the age of seven, regardless of family background.
At this time, the entire hostel outside Xuchang School in Dongcheng District was full of people.
"Being a brother does not mean giving in to him, but it is necessary!"
On the other hand, after capturing the Hanoi area, he can concentrate on advancing westward and completely capture the entire Guanzhong Chang'an.
Xia Houyuan was a little moved, and couldn't help but bow to Cao Cao: "It's my fault, I don't know what your brother thinks like this!"
However, now that we are taking over Xuzhou with Cao Ren, it must be because of that guy Cao Ren.
During this time, Xiahou Dun and others were silent.
In comparison, Xiahou Dun and others' dissatisfaction seems extremely normal.
"In this way, the conflicts between the two people will be reduced!"
Huang Zhong spoke, and Zhao Yun and Dian Wei nodded subconsciously after hearing this.
These things can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.
Although Cao Ren was a little moved by these words, after all, he had been in Xuzhou for more than two years.
"Only the newspapers and public opinion of the Han Dynasty just say, you have control?"
And because he had been stationed in Xuzhou for a long time in the past two years, there was no direct conflict or contradiction between him and Xi Yu.
It’s just that what’s happening now is nothing, but what about the future!
It was only after a few people left that Cao Cao couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
"Bo Fu, I often hear you complaining about your younger brother recently. I saw in the newspaper that Xuchang School is recruiting students."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu beside him couldn't help but smile.
Cao Cao did not directly answer Cao Ren's words, but directly pointed out the other party's responsibilities.
"What did Zixiao want to say?"
It was nothing at first, but Xiyu benefited even more.
Cao Cao spoke sincerely and expressed his interests directly.
He couldn't help but smile and said.
He is now in his thirties, and in his prime, sending troops to fight with Cao Cao is what he longs for.
What's more, there are some things that Cao Ren can see further after following Cao Cao for a long time.
"Didn't Xi Yu just take away some of the soldiers under Yuan Rang and others this time?"
To be honest, he was quite moved.
On the other hand, it is of course a matter of Xiyu.
After Cao Ren finished speaking, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh.
He just heard Xu Chu tell him that when Xiahou Dun left Cao Ren's house, he held his head high, but Cao Ren seemed to have closed the door to thank the guests.
"In this way, although we are completely bordered by Yuan Shao, we can still guarantee that Xuchang will have no worries!"
"Yuan Rang, I treat Xi Yu kindly because his talents and strategies are all top-notch!"
Since Cao Cao understood some things in his heart, there was no need for him to say more.
At that time, the area under his jurisdiction will be able to span from east to west.
It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
Even Sun Ce is no exception.
He is different from Xiahou Dun and others, Cao Ren is more aware of Xi Yu's ability.
In this way, a comprehensive border can also provide comprehensive defense against the opponent.
Nowadays, their situation is much better than when they raised the army.
If certain things were really left to them, they wouldn't be able to do it as easily as Xi Yu.
"But I want to ask my brother. The autumn harvest will be over soon. I wonder how I should arrange it if I send out troops after the autumn harvest?"
"Brother, this is not what I am here for!"
Even with Xiahou Dun's effort, crystal light began to flicker in the tiger's eyes.
At the same time, on the other side.
"Okay, Zixiao's words are very kind!"
…
Sun Ce couldn't help but frown when he read the news published in the Han Dynasty newspapers.
When he heard that Cao Ren was coming, Cao Cao looked helpless.
Speaking of which, Cao Cao was extremely relieved that Cao Ren was stationed in Xuzhou.
To be honest, he didn't want to hear the news about Xi Yu at all, but the Chinese newspapers were really rare.
But I never thought that Xiahou Dun would be sent to Xuzhou by Cao Cao in the end, which was quite surprising.
Hearing this, Cao Ren nodded.
Under such circumstances, several people opened their mouths but could not say anything.
Cao Cao bluntly said that it was precisely because Cao Ren was stationed in Xuzhou that he could lead his troops with confidence.
"Brother, you should be on guard!"
"Xuchang today cannot be chaotic!"
This is indeed a good idea, and Xiahou Dun can also defend the city.
No matter whether you choose to go to war with Yuan Shao in the north first, or go south to deal with Liu Biao, Yuan Shu and others.
And all this is because of Xi Yu.
"Now he has been promoted to Taiwei, and he is the third prince with his brother, but what about the future!"
"Cao doesn't want to let you brothers suffer, but now, there is nothing we can do!"
"Zixiao, with you stationed in Xuzhou, my brother can lead the army westward with peace of mind!"
"I'm afraid this battle will have to be postponed until the end of the year at the earliest."
Just as he told Xiahou Dun and others.
There are some things that they really can't handle. Although they can make overall plans for farming.
However, now that this guy wants to follow him to the west, this kind of thing still makes Cao Cao hesitate.
In the final analysis, the relationship between the Cao family and Xi Yu is about interests.
Cao Cao understood what was going on and thought the matter was settled. He never thought that Cao Ren would be more direct than Xiahou Dun and others.
Nowadays, the number of scholars in Xuchang has increased a lot, and in the newspapers of the Han Dynasty, Xi Yu specially published the news.
"Today, Yuan Shao in the north is still our formidable enemy, and Liu Biao and Yuan Shu in the south cannot be underestimated!"
"If Cao can bear the injustice for you, Cao will volunteer to take your place in his place!"
However, he did not take this matter to heart. As he expected, Cao Cao did not come to him for this matter.
"But there are some things that cannot be ignored in the final analysis. Xi Fengyi is, after all, an outsider to my brother!"
At this moment, Zhou Yu's eyes fell on the news about recruiting students in newspapers and periodicals.
"I understand what Zixiao said!"
However, who can guarantee that in such a year of natural disasters, large-scale disasters will not occur in various places.
He had never expressed Xi Yu's achievements before because he knew it in his heart.
After saying this, Cao Cao paused again, and his eyebrows trembled slightly.
If Lao Cao hadn't had a heart-to-heart conversation with him yesterday, he almost thought Cao Cao had transferred him on purpose!
Xiahou Dun was a little unhappy, but now he also understood what Cao Cao was thinking.
Without Xiyu, how could today's autumn harvest be so effective?
On that day, Xiahou Dun did not go to Cao Cao, but he went to Cao Ren directly.
Fortunately, this guy Cao Ren still understands himself better.
The next day, an edict was issued from the Sikong Mansion, ordering Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan to take over in Cao Ren, making Xiahou Dun the prefect of Xiapi, and letting him garrison Xuzhou together with Xiahou Yuan.
Nowadays, most of Xiyu's achievements are not the military achievements of killing generals and seizing cities, but the achievements that have extremely obvious benefits to the country and the country.
At this moment he thought of his purpose.
Nowadays, he cannot do without Xi Yu's assistance.
"However, if a war breaks out after this autumn harvest, I don't think it will be over for a while."
Now that Xiahou Dun is gone.
What will happen then?
After Xiahou Dun and others left, Cao Cao had no intention of taking a rest anymore.
At this moment, Cao Ren saluted Cao Cao.
"The school where the opera is held in Fengyi will start in a few days!"
"How can we take care of the agricultural affairs of the two states of Yan and Xu to ensure that even in a year of natural disasters, the land of the two states will not be trapped by any disaster?
Or, you can deal with those novel things."
"In this way, you can also make great achievements!"
Two days later, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan led their troops out of Xuchang and headed straight for the border of Xuzhou.
"Just now, the princes are rising together in the world. Although you are good at conquering and fighting, there are also countless people in the world who are good at fighting!"
"After this autumn harvest, I intend to move westward again, first capture the land of Sili, and then move northward to capture Hanoi in one go!"
"This move will, on the one hand, allow Yuan Rang and Xuzhou to supervise the training of new recruits. On the other hand, it will also allow Yuan Rang and Xi Yu to stay further apart!"
Xi Yu was somewhat aware of what Xiahou Dun and others were causing trouble.
Zhou Yu remonstrated. Sun Ce was stunned when he heard this and sent his younger brother Sun Quan to Xuchang School?
"Gong Jin, what you said is serious. Isn't this equivalent to sending a hostage to Cao Cao?"
Sun Ce hesitated. He raised his eyes and glanced at Zhou Yu. The look on his face did not look like a joke.
Zhou Yu beside him smiled.
"Bo Fu, why worry? You and I can leave Xuchang safely and there is no news yet, which has proved Xi Fengyi's character!"
"This time Fengyi is here, Zhongmou must be fine!"
