Chapter 524: Cao Cao is in trouble
The situation in the world, with Liu Feng's involvement, began to change drastically again. ()
For example, Sun Ce, Liu Cong and others had been weakened, so they could only wait and see. Liu Bei raised troops in Xuzhou, intending to connect with Lu Su and occupy Xuzhou.
Yuan Shao confronted Cao Cao in Guandu. Hearing that Lu Su had risen from the south, he planned to sit on a mountain and watch the tiger fight, and watch Lu Su and Cao Cao kill each other with wounds.[
When Liu Feng came out, the world changed.
The princes in the world are either calm, taking advantage of the situation, or sitting on the mountain watching the tigers fight. But for Cao Cao, who was the first to bear the brunt, it was not that simple.
Cao Cao has always wanted to eliminate Lu Su, just because he was afraid that Lu Su would become powerful and stab him in the rear. Now it has really come true. Regarding the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao, who was at an absolute disadvantage, was undoubtedly a huge disaster.
When the news reached Guandu, Cao Cao immediately summoned his civil and military ministers to discuss countermeasures.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Cao Cao knelt and sat at the top. Below him were many civil and military officials. Everyone had solemn expressions on their faces. Even Dong Cheng pretended to be like this.
This is the atmosphere in the big tent, very oppressive.
As the saying goes, misfortunes fall from the sky, and that's exactly what happened.
Seeing the solemn atmosphere in the tent, Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said, "I personally reviewed Tian's case, but I didn't expect that it would cause me such a big trouble."
The Tian family, after all, is a big family in the north. Although the county guard has the power to arrest, he must also consider the impact. Although there are many talented people from poor families under Cao Cao's account, the nobles are no longer in the minority.
It's okay to kill one person, but if you arrest the whole clan and plan to kill them all. Not to mention that the county guard doesn't have that ability, even Cao Cao ordered the capture after careful consideration.
Yes, taking down the whole clan may cause a lot of backlash from the nobles. But it can also temporarily suppress the powerful nobles. Cao Cao himself comes from a wealthy family, and he knows very well how the nobles will act according to the prevailing circumstances.
Now he is at a disadvantage in the war with Yuan Shao, and his internal people are unstable. He has lost consecutive battles against Lu Su, and Lu Su took the opportunity to seize the opportunity and gained territory of five counties and tens of thousands of troops.
He has become one of the greatest princes in the world.
The Tian family's development to the south is just the first one. I don't know how many others plan to contact Lu Su to prepare a way out for their own family.
Killing the entire Tian clan can frighten those noble clans.
Unexpectedly, the result turned out to be like this. However, Cao Cao also knew that there was no direct connection between his killing of the Tian family and Lu Su's march north.
For Lu Su, this is just an excuse. Even if there is no such excuse, Lu Su will still find another excuse.
The result is the same, send troops.
The only thing that Cao Cao really regretted was giving Lu Su a chance to gain a good reputation. He was so angry that he was a talent.[
In order to defect to his powerful clan, Lu Su even did not hesitate to use weapons. This made him famous.
Cao Cao was mocking himself to lighten the atmosphere, but he didn't want anyone to say it immediately.
"Who knew that Nalu Su would use this as an excuse to send troops? Please don't blame yourself."
"Exactly, everything is because Na Lusu was too shameless."
"When Yuan Shao is defeated in the fight, this thief will die without a burial place."
Cao Cao couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this, and said quickly: "These are all things for later. What we should discuss now is how to deal with Lu Su."
