Chapter 89: You have to have both fish and bear's paw
this…
Lu Yu thought for a moment and then said: "Mr. Cao, I don't really have much opinion. I only know that the hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable. Tao Qian has already taken action, but Mr. Cao is afraid of spreading the word.
…Didn’t Duke Cao become a coward?”
"The Han Dynasty ruled the world with 'filial piety', and Cao Gong ignored his father's hatred. Then...how will the world talk about Cao Gong? How will the court treat Cao Gong? Will those talented people still come to seek refuge with Cao Gong?"
"If this is the case, let alone others, even if I am in Cao Ying, I will feel embarrassed and will be afraid of the eyes of the world! In fact, seeking Xuzhou is not a multiple choice question... Xuzhou must be fought whether it is fought or not.
They must be beaten, especially Tao Qian, who must be killed!"
call…
Cao Cao rolled his eyes.
Lu Yu was not arguing with Xi Zhicai. He was pushing Cao into a situation where he "had no choice but to act".
Of course, what Lu Yu did not mention was the advantages of capturing Xuzhou.
At this time, Xun Yu also slowly stood up. "In addition to the revenge mentioned by Master Lu Yu, Xuzhou has a large population and rich people. If it can be captured, the lord will have an extra granary! Tao Qian's appointment is unknown and he violates the rules.
Morality is self-destruction! If the lord does not attack, it will be contrary to morality and human relations, and he will be ashamed of the world!"
Cao Cao nodded...
It is true that the revenge mentioned by Lu Yu is on one side, that is, the so-called morality, and seeking Xuzhou and making Xuzhou his granary is what Cao Cao covets.
In addition to touching gold, Cao Cao also needed some legitimate ways to obtain wealth.
Difficulty, Cao Cao was really in trouble.
He wanted to attack Xuzhou, but he had too many worries;
If the army attacks with all its strength, Yanzhou will definitely be empty, but if it only leads half of the troops, there is no guarantee of victory!
It's true that you can't have your cake and eat it too, and for a while, Cao Cao was caught in a dilemma.
At this moment... there was a person in the government office standing on his head with an eyebrow.
Xi Zhicai, yes, it was the military advisor whom Cao Cao entrusted with the important task of sacrificing wine - Xi Zhicai.
He flicked his long sleeves. "Wen Ruo and this young master are talking about each other. Who doesn't know that Xuzhou is a beautiful place? Let me ask, who among the princes in the world does not want to attack. But the key question now is not whether or not, but whether
Can you!"
Speaking of this, Xi Zhicai's tone became more serious. "Let's talk about it. If the army presses towards Xuzhou and someone makes a surprise attack on Yanzhou, what should we do? The army is attacked from both sides. What will we do?"
what to do?
Let’s eat it cold…
Lu Yu was about to speak, but he was also drunk. After all, he could not escape the fate of fighting with Xi Zhicai.
Who would have thought that before he could speak, Cao Cao spoke first. "Yesterday, I asked Lu Gongcao about this question. What Lu Gongcao meant was that Liu Biao and Yuan Shu were about to start a war in Nanyang, and Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao were also going to fight in the north.
The situation will not stop until death. In this way, everyone can hinder our pursuit of Xuzhou!"
hiss…
Xi Zhicai was startled at first, and then he laughed, his smile was extremely bright.
Is this Lu Yu a tease invited by the monkey? He said "fight" and "fight"? Could it be that he is...the ruler of the world, the supreme leader in troubled times? One call and a hundred responses?
Haha...Xizhi really said "haha".
"I don't know what this Lu Gongcao is capable of, so that my lord and you are so convinced... But I think that Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao in the north have had a truce for many months, and Yuan Shu and Liu Biao in the south respect each other as guests. Why did this war happen? It's hard to believe that.
No, is it because the lord wants to attack Xuzhou? They also fight one after another?"
Still insist on your opinion!
Xi Zhicai is like this. As long as it is something he thinks is right, he must persuade Cao Cao. Even if he can't persuade him, he must persuade him to death!
Uh... This made Lu Yu feel a little difficult... He scratched his head.
How can someone with such a talent for drama understand it?
It is really because of the powder keg of Xuzhou that the world is in chaos...
To put it bluntly, the princes from all walks of life just watched Lao Cao start a fight. If they didn't fight, they would feel itchy and suffer a loss.
But if they attack Xuzhou or attack Yanzhou, they are afraid that someone will stab them in the back and raid their hometown!
Besides, when Lao Cao and Tao Qian fought, the princes felt that the rear was stable and they had no worries.
You must know that in troubled times, while these princes are a threat to Lao Cao, Lao Cao is also a threat to them!
It's just... Lu Yu is really difficult to explain. No matter how he reasons, it seems difficult to deduce such a conclusion.
But at this moment...
"Report..." came a message, and a soldier hurriedly broke into the tent. "Jingzhou, Nanyang, Jizhou, and Youzhou all sent urgent messages..."
In fact, the urgent messages were all sent last night. Yanzhou contains the details of various forces, and the other states and counties also hide Cao Cao's details. They often use an ancient method of communication - flying pigeons to pass the information to them.
return.
The so-called flying pigeon to deliver a message does not mean that a flying pigeon flies such a long distance, but flies to a specific location, usually a post station or a wine shop, and changes the pigeon through the contact person here to continue delivering the message! Each flying pigeon just
It flies a short distance...but the speed of the whole flying pigeon is extremely fast!
For this reason, all disturbances from various places can be transmitted to Cao Cao in as little as three or two days, or as many as five or six days.
Today, there are flying pigeons in all four places... This is extremely rare in Yanzhou!
"Read it, read it directly!"
Cao Cao ordered...
The soldier took out a silk handkerchief with very small words on it. The soldier looked at the silk handkerchief before his eyes and then read aloud: "Youzhou battle report, Gongsun Zan led an army of 30,000 at the 'Jie Mashui'
Fight against Yuan Shao!"
"Jizhou battle report, Yuan Shao dispatched 100,000 soldiers and horses to conquer Youzhou, and set up camp at the "Jiema River"... to confront Gongsun Zan's army!"
"Jingzhou battle report, Liu Biao sent 60,000 troops to attack Nanyang, Nanyang battle report, Yuan Shu sent five armies to attack Liu Biao!"
Boom...boom!
The soldier's voice was not loud, but when he read out this information, the entire government office fell silent in an instant, so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.
Cao Cao's pupils widened, and his heart suddenly tightened, and then...he felt relieved, as relieved as a heavy weight had been lifted.
The prediction was correct, the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, Liu Biao and Yuan Shu was about to begin... Yu'er's predictions were all correct this time.
Haha...hahahaha...
At that moment, Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh out loud.
At the same time, the expressions of Xun Yu, Xun You, Xi Zhicai, and Mao Jie also froze...
Especially Xi Zhicai, his cheeks seemed to freeze in an instant, just like fossils in amber!
Faintly, he felt incredible...
But vaguely, he felt pain in his chest again... Gradually, not only his chest, but his face also hurt, as if he had been slapped violently. Not only was the pain severe, but he was also extremely embarrassed!
Without any warning, without any warning...this Lu Yu...he...how could he predict the war between the north and the south?
This... what incredible insight and judgment of the situation does this require?
Huh...huh...
Xi Zhicai was breathing heavily. He stood there blankly, his eyes dull!
He prides himself on strategizing and making perfect plans, but...he couldn't even calculate the war between the north and the south accurately. On this point, he lost, completely and utterly, to this teenage boy!
This is a huge blow to Xi Zhicai, who has always been conceited!
…
"God helps Mr. Cao, God helps Mr. Cao..."
Xun Yu and Xun You suddenly woke up from the shock, with four words between their eyebrows - cheering!
It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Isn't this the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity they have been searching for and waiting for?
The information is correct, "Yinlin" is all correct!
The army's attack on Xuzhou can no longer be hindered...
By winning Xuzhou, Cao Cao would have the capital to compete with the major princes, and also have the opportunity to realize their dream of reviving the Han Dynasty with Yingchuan talents!
When they thought of this, Xun Yu and Xun You couldn't hide their excitement.
It is true that you can only briefly question Lu Yu's words at most, but... Yinlin's words are a revelation and can never be doubted.
Being in Cao Ying, they Yingchuan scholars can always believe in "Yinlin".
Likewise, they Yingchuan scholars were right to vote against Cao Cao...
Those who win Yinlin win the world. I will not deceive you if you are honest on the first day of the month!
