Cao Cao is a good person, whether he treats people, politics, diplomacy, military strategy, or combat. Cao Cao's own personality is sinister and cruel, scheming, and persevering. Cao Cao can be said to be born
He is a great military strategist and a great politician.
The only small flaw of Cao Cao is suspicion. However, this is also a common problem for politicians.
Cao Cao was suspicious of this problem, even Cao Cao himself knew. And Cao Cao would restrain himself every time and analyze calmly to avoid making mistakes.
But this time, the more Cao Cao analyzed, the more he felt something was wrong. This was definitely not because he was suspicious. It was because Liu Mingzhen could have made such a plan.
When Cao Cao looked at this information briefly, he saw that the people of Jizhou were happy and excited about Liu Ming taking over Jizhou. All the forces in Jizhou were also actively cooperating with Youzhou.
Carry out activities and get military and political departments of all sizes in Jizhou. Liu Ming left behind in Jizhou to get a lot of troops. In addition to the 30,000 troops in Youzhou, there are also the newly recruited Beihai Guanhai
There were 60,000 people, as well as more than 100,000 surrendered soldiers and more than 100,000 prisoners under Yuan Shao, the former Jizhou.
After reading this information, Cao Cao was so happy at that time that he thought Xu You was right. At this time, Jizhou was indeed in turmoil, with scattered troops and empty. He assembled the elite troops of a large army to decide the outcome in one battle.
With Cao Cao's eyes and scheming, he could tell at a glance.
What kind of people are happy about Liu Ming taking over Jizhou? What's the use? People are blindly following and always follow the powerful people. No matter who they are, as long as they can eat and wear warm clothes, they have a
There is no room for survival, so they will have no threat. The local forces, large and small, actively cooperated and took over the administrative departments of Jizhou, which further shows that due to the change of regime in Jizhou at this time, all local forces in Jizhou were facing a new resumption of their power.
Opportunities for adjustment. If there is adjustment, there will be struggles. If there is excellence, there will be disappointment. This is not that human hearts are unstable, what is this? Those who fail in the re-division of power can all be used for their own use.
As for the huge force left in Jizhou at this time, it was even more powerful outside and at the same time. That is, the 30,000 troops in Youzhou can still be regarded as combat power. Guan Hai from Beihai is just a group of bandits. In recent years, he has been
Are there fewer bandits destroyed? Which one is not more troops than Guan Hai? And those surrendered soldiers who were originally Yuan Shao of Jizhou, don’t worry about it. How loyal can they develop to Liu Ming in such a short time?
If they can vote for Liu Ming, they can vote for themselves. What's more, now they have Yuan Shaosu, who is here with Xu You, Zhang He, Gao Lan and others. Wouldn't it be easy to conquer these surrendered soldiers? Besides, even if it is
Without considering their surrender, I am afraid that the left-behind troops in Jizhou would not dare to use these surrendered soldiers and captives with complete confidence. Moreover, at this time, the troops in Jizhou were divided into three factions, each with different commanders. Although they were under the jurisdiction of one person
, although the appointment time is still short, these people will inevitably be dissatisfied with each other and suspicious of each other. Even the commander and the dispatcher are not effective.
Therefore, the huge army left behind in Jizhou is just a group of mobs, and it is not a blink of an eye to the long-trained tiger and wolf army.
However, when Cao Cao was finished proud, he looked at the information in detail again and prepared to dig deep into some useful combat information to attack Jizhou. Cao Cao couldn't help but develop a certain interest in Guan Hai in Beihai.
Guan Hai from Beihai was originally a remnant of the Yellow Turbans. Since he could accept Liu Ming's help, he was just greedy for some money, fame and fortune. Liu Ming could give him what he could. Of course he could give him too. And soon after he recently surrendered to Liu Ming, he could
How loyal to Liu Ming is? As long as he sends a person who can speak and promises Guan Hai a high position and a generous salary, wouldn’t Guan Hai be the most useful piece? For example, Bai Lao surrenders to himself because of this?
However, just when Cao Cao wanted to induce Guan Hai to surrender and think of Bai Rao, Cao Cao suddenly thought that after Bai Rao led the crowd to surrender, some senior leaders who were originally under Guo Tai had told him that they
He was once recruited by Liu Ming by Mr. Guo and was a formal official of the court. He was temporarily stuck in Sili after losing to Dong Zhuo. He hoped that he could restore his official position. At that time, he didn't care about these dissidents.
I just cleaned it up. But now I think about it, there is really a lot of stuff here. Liu Ming captured Bingzhou and recruited Guo Tai from Bingzhou, Jizhou and Guan Hai from Beihai. How could Liu Ming be at the critical moment at any time
What about recruiting these useful forces at all times?
When Cao Cao thought of this, he suddenly thought of Liu Ming's Youzhou being attacked by Gongsun Du from Liaodong, and was in danger. It seemed that he had solved the problem of recruiting the famous Black Mountain Army of Zhang Yan. For this reason, Liu Ming also submitted a letter to Zhang Yan.
The court has asked for a title, but this is a true matter. Are these all coincidences?
Impossible! Since these remnants of the Yellow Turban rebels, how could they have a saying of loyalty and righteousness? None of them could be so easy to talk about? And they all came to help in time when they were in danger in Youzhou. With those thieves
It is hard to imagine that if the bandits were desperate like Bai Rao, they would be almost the same as that of the bandits. Unless they had colluded before, these bandits were just Liu Ming's.
Just letting go of troops.
The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more he felt that he was not wrong. Therefore, the more Cao Cao thought about it, the more he became afraid. If these bandits were arranged by Liu Ming, then Liu Ming had to have prepared it since long ago. Such a plan
It's too terrible. And with such a big move, what strategy and wisdom is it. Moreover, since these bandits Zhang Yan, Guo Tai, and Guan Hai may have been arranged by Liu Ming, Youzhou. Will that be the case?
Are the seven major bandits such as Du and the others arranged and supported by Liu Ming? As a result, Cao Cao even thought that the troops under his command were included, except those who were taken from the prisoners of the Du troops. That was brought by Bai Rao.
The total number of soldiers under his command of good people is only 100,000. Will they also sneak into Youzhou's troops? What if Liu Ming, who was hiding in his troops when he attacked Jizhou, rebelled?
Even if his troops are on the same side as him, Yu Du is his old opponent. He was beaten out of Yanzhou by himself. If he had attacked Jizhou with all his strength, Yu Du suddenly accepted Liu Ming's help.
, attacking Yanzhou from behind, cutting off his own food route, and Liu Ming had an excuse to attack himself, so the power he had finally developed would transform every moment?
As the saying goes: People are scary, they are scary. This is true. Especially if Cao Cao scares himself like this, it will be even more deadly. What's more, Cao Cao guessed this time?
After thinking about it, Cao Cao believed that this Jizhou could not be fought, and Liu Ming could not be offended at this stage. Only after he completely rectified his military affairs and eliminated the hidden dangers around him could he be called Liu Ming. At this time, he was the most important thing.
The safe way is to chase and suppress the poison. It will not only eliminate the wings that Liu Ming may be hidden, but also not punish Liu Ming for this. At the same time, it can also develop himself. The amount of oil to eliminate the poison is not very good, and it may not meet his needs.
.And Yu Du is said to have merged with Yang Feng. After they merged, it was a tough and hard bone that was difficult to crack. It was not worth the loss.
Just as Cao Cao was planning to make a decision, Xu You came to visit again.
These days, Xu You has introduced Zhang He, Gao Lan and others to Cao Cao. Cao Cao has a good impression of Zhang He and Gao Lan and has entrusted important tasks respectively. Xu You has been given Gao from Cao Cao because of this.
Look. Xu You took it for granted that he was different and was Cao Cao's absolute confidant. Therefore, Xu You wanted to show himself even more. Fortunately, Cao Cao made great contributions, which made no other people unable to speak. So
Xu You came to Cao Cao every few days to offer advice, always suggesting Cao Cao attacking Jizhou, expanding his territory, and snatching food and grass. Cao Cao was not very disgusted with Xu You's visit. After all, this can show his demeanor of being a polite and a good person to teach him
Fame. Moreover, Xu You is also good at wisdom and can often expand his thinking. Therefore, when Cao Cao was fine, he always warmly received Xu You.
At this time, although Cao Cao decided not to attack Jizhou anymore, it proved that Xu You's information was true, and Xu You really came to vote for him. It was just that Xu You's current hidden situation in Jizhou was not seen.
Therefore, Cao Cao was quite happy that Xu You came to discuss with him. He just happened to think about it. If he didn't hit Jizhou, who would be the best to hit?
Cao Cao invited Xu You in. Before Xu You could speak, he said to Xu You with a sad face: "Ziyuan is coming just right. I just received the information, but fortunately we didn't have the idea of fighting Jizhou, otherwise we would have a big trouble.
.Look at it, Guan Hai from Beihai was in charge of Jizhou when he attacked Jizhou in Youzhou. The previous Grandpa Guo of Bingzhou also received the registration of Grandpa Taiwei when he attacked Bingzhou.
, assist the Taiwei Lord to attack Bingzhou. Earlier, the Taiwei Lord had even incorporated Zhang Yan's Heishan Army. Is there no connection between them? At this time, Yu Du is still beside our Yanzhou.
Yang Feng, wandering around. We must be careful."
After hearing what Cao Cao said, Xu You also took a deep breath. With such a smart person as Xu You, of course he understood what Cao Cao meant. Xu You thought to himself: Is this possible? This Liu Tai
Wei's reputation of benevolence and righteousness is quite good. How can Liu Ming do this? But if this is really as Meng De speculated, then Liu Ming would be a tyrant and loyal hero. And Liu Ming's hidden power is too
It's big. Who else in the world can fight against such a treacherous hero?
At this time, Xu You believed Cao Cao's guess and said to Cao Cao in a low voice: "If this is the case, Liu Ming will be too terrible. We must report to the court immediately, inform the world, and unite the heroes of the world to fight against Liu Ming together.
”
Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said, "No, no. This matter is just our speculation, and there is no evidence to investigate. How can we do it accurately? Moreover, the hearts of the heroes in the world have dispersed, and when it spread, they ask others to say that we have ulterior motives and have ulterior motives. Not only is it not
Someone will respond to us. Instead, it offended the Grand Marshal. We just need to be careful in secret."
Xu You said sinisterly: "If you want to add a crime, why not worry? No matter what the news is true or false, it will be fine as long as it is spread. Even if no princes would believe it, no princes would unite to attack Liu Ming, but
This can always destroy Liu Ming's name of benevolence and righteousness, and have a certain impact on Liu Ming's momentum. I think other princes are happy to spread. As long as Liu Ming's momentum is damaged, then your future development will not be
It's more convenient."
Cao Cao nodded and agreed: "Ziyuan is fond of strategy, so he can show everyone the true face of Liu Ming and not blind the world. However, this matter is not urgent. We can finally expose Liu Ming's true face. Our top priority is to consider
Let’s see, where can we get a lot of military rations besides Jizhou?”
Xu You was recognized by Cao Cao and was happy. However, Cao Cao's problem suddenly stumped Xu You. Originally, Xu You came to Cao Cao and was planning to suggest Cao Cao attack Jizhou. After all, the environment in Jizhou was familiar to him. However, Cao Cao pointed out
The possibility made Xu You not sure of attacking Jizhou at once. But in addition to Jizhou, Xu You suddenly asked to find another suitable place to solve the problem. How could he have it all at once?
There are too many links involved.
Xu You quickly filtered the intelligence of the forces around Cao Cao in his mind, Liu Ming, Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu, Zhang Xiu...
But before Xu You could think about it, a shout came from outside the door: "Report! Report to General."
"Come in." Cao Cao said calmly.
A school official came in and knelt in front of Cao Cao and said, "I have emergency secret matters under him to report to General." After that, he glanced at Xu You.
Xu You didn’t understand anything. This is because he thought he was in the way.
Xu You was angry. He was Meng De's friend and absolutely confidant. This guy was too ignorant. However, Xu You still understood the rules in this regard. He quickly said goodbye to Cao Cao and said, "Mr. Cao is doing something again, then
Let's say goodbye first."
Unexpectedly, Cao Cao waved his hand and said to Xu You, "Ziyuan doesn't need to avoid suspicion. You are here to analyze it." After that, he said to the small school, "Xu Ziyuan is my friend, there is no need to avoid it. You
Just say it."
When Xu You heard this, he was very moved and even more determined to work hard for Cao Cao.
And that school also gave a piece of news that surprised Cao Cao-
