As the saying goes: Take advantage of the situation. The more chaotic the situation, the more opportunities it will be. So Liu Ming told Guo Jia that the opportunity has come. That is no exception.
Liu Ming asked with a smile: "Okay. Just have the opportunity. Tell me what kind of opportunity is here."
Guo Jia also smiled and said, "Since Dong Zhuo and the others will attack Ma Chao, Dong Zhuo must attack the four counties of Xiliang where Ma Teng is located. The four counties of Xiliang have always been led by Ma Teng and Han Sui. Now Ma Teng,
Ma Chao is not in Xiliang, and only Han Sui is left with the four counties of Xiliang to support him independently. If Dong Zhuo's army is approaching, Han Sui will be unable to support him independently. Besides fighting to the end, Han Sui can only surrender to Dong Zhuo. If this is the time
We send a glimmer of hope to Han Sui, indicating that we are willing to ignore past grudges and can send troops to help Han Sui and jointly fight against Dong Zhuo. Han Sui is also a hero. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, Han Sui will not be willing to surrender to Dong Zhuo. In this way,
, it will definitely greatly lose Dong Zhuo's military strength. It can allow us to rest and recover our strength, and we don't have to worry that Dong Zhuo's army will grow and reduce the trouble of sending troops to eliminate Dong Zhuo in the future. Ma Chao is trapped in Cao Cao's territory
That was also a thorn in Cao Cao's flesh. Just looking at Ma Chao who chose to retreat when he failed to attack the city, he could see that Ma Chao was not a blind and impulsive person. When Ma Chao found that the retreat was cut off, he was not stupid.
Luyang defended, waiting for Cao Cao to mobilize his troops to siege, but instead hid in the Qinling Mountains to avoid his edge. Then he waited for an opportunity to act. This also shows Ma Chao's wit. If we send someone to guide Ma Chao and Yang Feng, Yu Du and others to join, and use Ma Chao
The courage and wit of the country will definitely cause great damage to Cao Cao's mainland. In this way, after we have a year or two, we will be able to rest and rest. Then, neither Cao Cao nor Dong Zhuo's strength will improve much. At that time,
, Wouldn't it be easy for us to break through the alliance between Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop? Moreover, if you can't bear to make Han Sui and Ma Chao perform well, we may not have to wait for the past two years. Isn't this our opportunity here?"
Liu Ming was also very happy after hearing this, especially Guo Jia's method of using Ma Chao, which reminded Liu Ming of the guerrilla warfare of Mao and the famous armed forces behind enemy lines. If Ma Chao could really do the Mao Zedong's set.
That's too powerful. I think after the 25,000-mile Long March, there were only 30,000 fire seeds left. Now, Ma Chao's troops do not need to be short. And the population of this era
The proportion is far less than that of that era. Brother Ma is still quite promising.
However, Liu Ming remembered something again and felt that Guo Jia’s plan was a bit inappropriate. So Liu Ming asked Guo Jia: “Fengxiao, that’s it. But if we propose to Han Sui to help them deal with Dong Zhuo, then
, Let's start a war with Dong Zhuo, which will destroy our plan to keep a low profile and rest. Moreover, as long as we fight with Dong Zhuo and the others, we will not talk about whether Cao Cao will send troops to attack us because of this. But my second brother was just in Shouyang Mountain
If Dong Zhuo and his coalition forces were defeated, Dong Zhuo would definitely not dare to fight with us. He would definitely defend Tongguan. Tongguan City is high and thick. One man should be the pass, and ten thousand men will not open. Wouldn't we suffer huge losses in Tongguan?
When Ma Chao was attacked by Cao Cao and knew that the retreat was cut off by Dong Zhuo, judging from Ma Chao's recent performance, Ma Chao should have known that Dong Zhuo was framed by him. But Ma Chao did not think about returning the same way and avenged Dong Zhuo.
On the contrary, when conquering Cao Cao a city, he attacked Zheng County. It was impossible for Ma Chao to know that only his troops would conquer a city. It was just a coincidence. If the opponent was determined to defend and had the same force, Ma Chao would
It is absolutely impossible to win. But Ma Chao did just that, which only means that the strategy set by Dong Zhuo has caused an unsolvable hatred between Ma Chao and Cao Cao. Maybe Ma Chao's father, Ma Teng, has been killed by Cao Cao.
.If we send someone to contact Ma Chao, and Ma Chao wants to use our hands to deal with Cao Cao and avenge his father, what should we do? Promise him means we will start a war with Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo at the same time, but if we don't agree to him,
Then Ma Chao would definitely not be convinced. If we recruited Ma Chao, Ma Chao knew that we were just making plans to doubt soldiers before. Our strength was not enough to fight against the heroes of the world at the same time, or even against Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo at the same time, it would be possible to use it.
When our troops were exhausted so much that we could no longer deal with other princes, Ma Chao leaked our secrets. Then we would not be worth the loss, and it would be too late to regret it."
Guo Jia laughed and said, "My lord is too kind. What should I do if others live or die? Ma Chao and Han Sui. Those are just stepping stones on the way to complete their careers. What did the lord consider so much for them? As long as you still want to
If you go on the road to unification of the world, when Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao fall, you still have to face Ma Chao, Han Sui and others. Unless they surrender voluntarily, you will still have to work hard to settle theirs."
Liu Ming looked at Guo Jia thoughtfully.
Guo Jiaze continued: "So, when we negotiate with them, there is no need to explain everything clearly to them. Specious information and plans are enough to make them obedient. There is no need for us to really contribute. In fact,
With their current strength, it is absolutely impossible to defeat Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao. Therefore, their greatest value is that they greatly dragged down the development of Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, and they surrendered when their power was completely lost.
At that time, as long as the lord can treat them well, it will be his lord's kindness. Besides, this opportunity is for us. We are certainly happy that they follow our plans and cause harm to Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao. But even if ours
If the plan fails, what losses will we have? Isn’t the situation at that time the same as it is now?”
Liu Ming frowned and asked, "If that happens, aren't we lie to them? Isn't this not very kind? Besides, if this matter is spread, wouldn't it make the world think that we are untrustworthy and ruin our
reputation?"
"Master. How can this be said to be a deception? We just didn't explain some things to them. After all, they are not your subordinates. Moreover, even if they are your subordinates, there are some confidential matters, then we still want to do so.
If you take some confidentiality measures, no one can let every subordinate know his confidential plan. It is understandable that we do this." Guo Jia said with a giggle.
Liu Ming suddenly realized. Indeed, this is like a commercial secret. Everything is reserved.
Liu Ming also asked happily: "Then how are you going to convince Han Sui, Ma Chao and the others? What kind of plan have you prepared to convince them without us having to do our real efforts."
Guo Jia said seriously: "Ma Chao and Han Sui are two people with different experiences and temperaments. Han Sui is older and has experienced many experiences, and has had many experiences of usurping military power. Therefore, Han
Sui will not trust others easily. Han Sui will only believe in himself and rely on himself. Therefore, we don’t need to go around with Han Sui. We can start directly from the interests. It shows that we don’t want Dong Zhuo to unify all Liangzhou.
, thus allowing Dong Zhuo to grow rapidly. Han Sui will definitely feel acknowledged and believe us. Then, we can explain that we will gather troops and horses in Dong Zhuo’s Tongguan and make an attacking posture to restrain Dong Zhuo’s large number of military horses. Others
Han Sui dealt with it himself. If Han Sui couldn't even resist half of Dong Zhuo's strength, Han Sui would better go home to farm. As long as we convince Han Sui like this, I'm probably 70% sure to convince Han Suihe
Dong Zhuo fought to the end. The other 30% depends on the degree of support for Han Sui by the Qiang and Hu tribes. This is not what we can predict." Guo Jia still left room for his speech.
Liu Ming nodded and agreed.
After Guo Jia finished talking about Han Sui, he continued to say that Ma Chao said, "Ma Chao is still young, has little experience, and should be more sincere in dealing with people. And seeing that he attacked Cao Cao's two cities in succession before retreating, it shows that Ma Chao is still
Can take the overall situation into consideration, but Ma Chao's personality is still a little impulsive. This is also in line with his young and vigorous personality. Therefore, we must first explain to Ma Chao that you, as a relative of the Han Dynasty, are the minister of the former emperor's orphanage, and receive
The former emperor was very kind and would never rebel against the court. Now, after escaping from Dong Zhuo, the emperor personally ran the way where Cao Cao went and personally enthroned Cao Cao as prime minister. Therefore, as long as Cao Cao still supports the emperor,
Cao Cao did not make any obvious mistakes. The emperor did not clearly issue an order to eradicate Cao Cao. You will never fight with Cao Cao in the name of purging the king, so as not to let the princes in the world be in the name of purging the king in the future and act without a military father.
In fact, Ma Chao will definitely forgive you. Secondly, we must turn around and explain that Cao Cao took advantage of the topic and wiped out the Xuzhou governor, and the hearts of powerful officials are obvious. Moreover, you and Ma Chao's father Ma Teng have a certain friendship,
Admiring Ma Teng's patriotism. Therefore, you want to help Ma Chao when Ma Chao is in danger. Finally, let's hint that Ma Chao's crisis is that Ma Chao's number of troops is too small, and Ma Chao has no subsequent military supplies.
.That is why Ma Chao was played with by Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo. You can help Ma Chao solve this problem. At this time, Ma Chao was young and energetic, and he would definitely agree with our proposal and be very interested. At this time, we
You can bring out Yu Du. We just say that when you were in Hu Xiaohe Villa, you had saved your life to the Yellow Turban General Yu Du. After joining the Yellow Turban Army with helplessness, Yu Du was also grateful for your kindness, and he has always been right.
You are so lucky. You also think it's a pity for a talent like Yu Du to be a thief. You have always wanted to recruit Yu Du and give Yu Du a background. However, you handle too many affairs in Youzhou, so you have never had time to recruit Yu Du. Now,
You see that Ma Chao has a shortage of troops and Yu Du and others lack a background, so you want to match Ma Chao and Yu Du and let them merge into one. In this way, Ma Chao can traverse the Central Plains and take revenge to Cao Cao or Dong Zhuo at will.
Yu Du can also have a background. It can be said that he has the best of both worlds. Ma Chao would not want the soldiers and horses given by him for free. With Ma Chao leading Yu Du and others to roam in Cao Cao's territory, Cao Cao would not be able to live in peace even if he wanted to live in peace."
Liu Ming said with a happier look: "Fengxiao, your plan is good. If Ma Chao has soldiers, it can indeed greatly damage Cao Cao's development. However, Yang Feng and Yu Du's soldiers and horses are returned to Ma Chao, isn't it a pity.
Now?"
Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Lord, it's not a pity at all. Yu Du, the Yellow Turban soldiers and horses led by Yang Feng, are not the same as the mobs. Moreover, there are many old and weak, with 200,000 to 300,000 troops, only tens of thousands of young and strong soldiers, the rest
Most of them are family members. Moreover, they have been a bandit for too long, and their habits have been developed. Change is impossible. Thinking about the former mistress's Black Mountain Army, it is already considered a disciplined elite force. But they are
When we merged with our army, how much effort did we spend and how many people who did not obey the law. Moreover, strictly speaking, we did not have a deep rule over Yu Du and Yang Feng. They were just the mothers of the first time.
I thought of the Yellow Turban lineage and gave them some funding. And only the big leader of the Yellow Turban share knew this secret. If the big leader who ruled the Yellow Turban died unexpectedly, the Yellow Turban army would no longer be affected.
We control it. Just like after Tai Guo was killed by Bai Rao, the entire Yellow Turban Army surrendered to Cao Cao."
Speaking of Mr. Guo, Guo Jia showed a pity. Liu Ming understood that it was Guo Jia's army that had been able to surrender to him, but was taken over by Cao Cao. You should know Mr. Guo, Bai Rao's
Those soldiers were all strong soldiers who survived the battlefield of death again and again. The relatively weak old and weak were killed by Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shu.
Guo Jia was a little sorry for him and continued, "And Yangfeng, Yu Du, their current goal is too great, and they cannot come to us safely through Cao Cao's territory. If Cao Cao wants to develop, he will go sooner or later.
We will definitely not be able to use Yangfeng and Yudu, the troops of Yangfeng and Yudu. Instead of doing this, we might as well let them play the greatest role. To the greatest extent possible, we will destroy Cao Cao's development and for our future unification.
Contribute to the great cause.”
Speaking of this, Guo Jia said excitedly again: "Lord, if Ma Chao and the others develop smoothly, coupled with our cooperation and guidance, there is a chance to kill Cao Cao! In that way, our benefits will be even more affordable.
