"Is the military advisor trying to confuse other princes?"
Zhao Feng nodded: "If a tree is as beautiful as the forest wind, it will be destroyed!"
At the beginning, both Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan understood the truth. It is impossible for other princes to be vigilant. Now that Cao's army is huge, if it shows terrifying strength again.
Then all the princes in the world will join forces to fight against Cao Cao.
Zhao Feng was very considerate. By the time he reached Sizhou, Liangzhou was already a foregone conclusion and he would seize the world.
Cao Cao also nodded to this, and instantly understood that because of the huge momentum, it would inevitably cause uneasiness to other princes, and the current military strength was still somewhat insufficient to fight against the world.
At this point, Cao Cao was not entangled. In this case, why not put away his edge and polish it carefully?
Then Cao Cao showed a smile: "Then when these 60,000 horses return, can't I expect the military advisor to build a strong cavalry force for me?"
Zhao Feng said lightly: "That's natural. What the cavalry lacks has never been soldiers but horses. Now that Xianbei has sent 60,000 horses, the cavalry will naturally come naturally!"
After hearing this, Cao Cao's face was full of expectations.
The cavalry is always a powerful weapon. If there are really 60,000 horses, then the future expedition against Xiliang will not be too weak.
While Zhao Feng and Cao Cao were talking, a soldier came in and said, "My lord, Sizhou Lu Bu has sent a letter."
Cao Cao looked curious and took the letter from his hand. Why did Lu Bu send the letter at this time?
He picked up the letter and glanced at Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng raised his hand and said, "My lord, let's take a look at it first and then talk about it."
Zhao Feng was also a little curious. Lu Bu actually sent a letter at this time, and what the content would be.
After just a moment, Cao Cao's expression turned strange. He looked at Zhao Feng and said quickly: "Commander, come and take a look."
Seeing Cao Cao's expression, Zhao Feng couldn't help but become curious. After just a few glances, he showed a surprised expression.
Lu Bu actually asked Cao Cao to take the initiative to occupy Sizhou, while he himself took the initiative to move out of Sizhou.
What surprised Zhao Feng was not this move, but that Lu Bu was able to give in like this, which really surprised him.
However, Chen Gong must have come up with this idea. It has to be said that this move was Lu Bu's best choice, and he took advantage of this opportunity to capture Nanyang.
It seems that Lu Bu lost a state, but the Nanyang that Lu Bu gained was far more cost-effective than Sizhou today.
Cao Cao looked at Zhao Feng and said, "Commander, what do you think? Do we want this Sizhou or not?"
Although Cao Cao was a little surprised by Lu Bu's move, he still knew the pros and cons behind it.
Now there are vacancies in everything in Sizhou. The things that were just acquired could fill the vacancies in Bingzhou, but it is very difficult to fill the vacancies in Sizhou.
But if you want to recruit people, it will definitely cost a lot of things. Originally, according to Zhao Feng's plan, Lu Bu was going to continue to develop.
However, I never expected that Lu Bu would give up Sizhou in exchange for the peace of the county.
Zhao Feng smiled faintly and said: "Yes, of course I want it. Why don't we want this land that was given to us for free?"
"We originally planned to take a rest. Since Lu Bu doesn't plan to fight with us, doesn't it mean that he just followed our wishes?"
Cao Cao nodded subconsciously and asked: "What the military advisor said is absolutely true, but how do we develop this huge Sizhou?"
This is what Cao Cao cares about the most. If it has no use, then why occupy it?
Zhao Feng said: "There is no need to rush, just develop slowly. I don't think anyone will take action against a meaningless Sizhou!"
Such a move made Cao Cao even more curious. According to Zhao Feng's intention, it was obvious that he would not invest a lot of resources in Sizhou.
Zhao Feng continued: "The most important problem now is not Sizhou, but Lu Bu's intention to go south. When he takes over Nanyang County, he may have evil intentions!"
After hearing this, Cao Cao immediately understood that Sizhou was just a bait.
Lu Bu's ambitions are not small. He dared to lead troops to attack Yingchuan before, which already showed his thoughts.
Seeing Cao Cao's nervous expression, Zhao Feng smiled and said: "However, my lord, there is no need to be nervous. We only need to stabilize our strength. Now, if our six states are stabilized, no one can stop us!"
Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded, "Come here, send Gao Lan to lead 30,000 troops to capture Sizhou!"
After the soldiers finished conveying the message, Cao Cao looked at Zhao Feng, who was reading the letter in front of him, with a complicated expression. Cao Cao still kept that incident in his mind.
He was also absolutely sure that the outcome of the incident that Zhao Feng sent Tongque to investigate had already been known, and he had been waiting for Zhao Feng to take the initiative to ask for more information about his mother.
But now that the three counties of Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou have been captured, they still didn't wait to ask again.
This made him feel even more guilty. After a long time, Cao Cao smiled and said: "Military advisor, now that you have helped me win the three states, it is a great achievement. Today I will reward you with thousands of pieces of brocade and thousands of catties of gold!"
"Also, some of the rare treasures I obtained before should also be given to the military advisor."
In terms of official position, Zhao Feng has long been ranked below one person and above ten thousand people. Cao Cao can't think of any good official positions. Now all he can offer are rare treasures.
Zhao Feng smiled lightly and said, "Thank you so much, Lord."
Seeing Zhao Feng like this, Cao Cao could only squeeze out a smile, but he couldn't feel happy in his heart. The seemingly intimate gestures were extremely unfamiliar to the identity of father and son.
Cao Cao was extremely certain about this matter. Zhao Feng definitely knew the identities of the two of them now, but he just refused to recognize him as his father.
She still gets along with him as a military advisor, and obviously still has a lot of grudges about what happened back then.
Cao Cao felt very guilty when he thought about it now, and at the same time he felt relieved because of such an outstanding Zhao Feng.
But he was not discouraged. Since he pretended not to know, he would take advantage of it.
Cao Cao laughed lightly and then asked: "Commander, do you remember Yuan Tan?"
Zhao Feng, who was looking through the letter, looked confused. Why did Cao Cao suddenly mention Yuan Shao's son Yuan Tan?
"Lord, this man is the eldest son of Yuan Shao."
Cao Cao continued: "When Yuan Shao defeated Guandu, and then colluded with Wuhuan at all costs, until we finally captured Bingzhou, Yuan Tan did not blame Yuan Shao at all. The grievances between father and son are not the same, and this should always be the case.
"
While speaking, Cao Cao kept watching Zhao Feng's movements. He said this. Was it enough of a hint?
Zhao Feng's expression remained as usual, and he said calmly: "Indeed, what the lord said is absolutely true."
Looking at Cao Cao, Zhao Feng also felt strange in his heart. How could Zhao Feng not understand what he said? It was obviously reflecting the identities of the two people, and I am talking about truth here.
However, Zhao Feng is a time traveler, and this identity was imposed by the system. As for Cao Cao's illegitimate son, the system killed him.
Moreover, Zhao Feng was an orphan in his previous life. Although he knew the truth, he could only deal with it.
