Chapter 1860: The choice of traveling west
Of course, this is not surprising. Cao Cao was convinced by Chen Gong's wisdom, but the other party broke out from him because of Xuzhou.
This also makes it difficult for Chen Gong to turn back. Even if Cao Cao admitted his mistake, it was "a great time to be in trouble." With Chen Gong's integrity, it is impossible to bow his head. If Chen Gong does not bow his head, the possibility of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun turning to Cao Cao is incredibly low.
In addition, Lu Qiling seems to be still sticking to Zhao Yun, and Cao Cao basically has no hope for these two guys, but even if he doesn't have hope, Cao Cao should be unwilling to give up, but now he has the opportunity to make me unable to get it, so you can't imagine it. Cao Cao is still very happy to start.
"Is that true? I originally thought that Cao Gong meant that one person from three sides would be born." Chen Xi said with a slight teasing, and Cao Cao's expression was basically not fluctuating when he heard this.
"It seems that Mr. Cao won't agree. Well, if General Zhang and the others agree, we won't refuse." Seeing that Cao Cao's face remained unchanged, Chen Xi shook his head and said, "It's just that in addition to this wave, we will also send others. Mr. Cao, don't you send some people?"
Cao Cao looked unhappy when he heard this. He was teased by Chen Xi before, but he could not change his expression. His original intention was to be teased by Chen Xi, but he had no substantial losses. He didn't expect that Chen Xi would still be at ease.
"I plan to send Kong Ming to the Western Regions to coordinate. What do you think of Cao Gong?" Chen Xi looked at Cao Cao and asked, "Although Chen Gongtai is powerful, someone needs to take charge of the party after all."
Cao Cao sneered at the sight. Although Chen Xi said it was indeed good, it was indeed a bit aggressive in this situation.
However, after all, Liu Bei's forces have already done this in front of him. If they don't take a step back, Cao Cao also knew that what they had talked about before would have basically gone away.
"How about Sima Zhongda? I sent Sima Zhongda and Cao Zidan to the Western Regions." Cao Cao thought for a moment and made up his mind. Since it was impossible to treat it as if he could not see it, the most correct way was to find a way to stop the loss.
"Hey, it's really a good idea." Chen Xi said with a sarcastic feeling. This time it was a real ridicule, because Cao Cao's words were already too obvious. To put it bluntly, he was using Sima Yi's unstable chess piece to destroy Zhuge Liang, and then using Cao Zhen, a relatively outstanding second-generation who was more outstanding from Liu Bei.
"Let Changwen go. Changwen and Kong Ming cooperate with each other. The two can compare with half of the army's soul army. It is not that easy for the Western Regions, ensuring safety is the best." Liu Bei, who was holding tea on the side, said slowly.
"In this case, we can't be just us. Sun Bofu should also be counted." Chen Xi asked with his eyes narrowed. Cao Cao hesitated and nodded. After all, they have invested so much resources, so how could Sun Ce stand beside him.
"If you include Sun Bofu, how can you be more favorable than the other?" Liu Bei couldn't help but look at other expressions. Chen Xi was really not cheating Cao Cao, but Sun Ce and others.
"Where are the troops sent?" Chen Xi stared at Cao Cao and began to chase him hard. "At least there should be a legion, otherwise, I really feel sorry."
While thinking, Cao Cao thought about it and silently planned, for fear of being caught by Chen Xi to take advantage of him. But overall, it was okay. At least from Cao Cao's perspective, he could block the opportunity of Chen Gong and others to surrender to Liu Bei, and could also rely on the unstable Sima Yi and the immature Cao Zhen to hold Zhuge Liang and Wei Yan. Cao Cao actually thought it was worth it.
[However, in this case, Liu Xuande actually invested three internal energy in the Western Regions, two wise men with spiritual talents, and even one and a half military soul corps. What is the significance of such a large investment?] Cao Cao inexplicably began to think about this aspect.
"Actually, I'm very curious, Zichuan, is it worth investing so much in the Western Regions?" Cao Cao looked at Chen Xi with a little thought, but Chen Xi's expression was unmoved.
"It's not a question of whether it's worth it, but because I have to plan further and longer. For us now, the Western Regions are like Baiyue in the era of Emperor Shin Emperor. We obviously do not have the ability to level the 500,000 troops of the First Emperor." Chen Xi said with a plain expression, "and if we want to turn it into the local area, then the investment will naturally not be small."
Cao Cao nodded when he heard this. Although he still felt that the investment was a bit too high, thinking about the investment of Emperor Shin-Emperor Ping Baiyue back then, Chen Xi’s current investment is indeed nothing, and what Chen Xi is doing now is indeed planning for the future.
"But you are sure to invest like this. These manpower and material resources are not a joke. If you invest like this, we may be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be
[Although Chen Zichuan is a arrogant person, he has never lost his title of planning ahead under any circumstances. That is, he has absolute confidence. Will he not use the chess game now? He is really arrogant.] Cao Cao cursed in his heart.
[Hmph, are you so confident? I, Cao Cao, aren't a vegetarian? Although I miss the first move, even if you won't win, you will definitely be unable to win.] Cao Cao couldn't help but make up his mind.
"You don't have to worry about these things. You should care more about how Cao Gong will deal with us next year after we leave Chang'an in three months." Chen Xi's lips stroked. He had already seen Cao Cao and Sun Ce who had no choice but to let go next year.
"Do you think I don't know that you are collecting information from all over the world? We are also collecting your information now, because we are going to summon senior officials from various prefectures and counties to enter Chang'an for a court meeting recently. We collect your information much easier than before." Cao Cao said casually, and now these things are on the surface.
"We can change three times a day under our rule, and I believe Xun Wen would definitely not have this ability. Although he is indeed powerful, he is not as good as mine in this regard." Chen Xi spread his hands and looked indifferent. "And the more you know, the more you fear it. Sometimes ignorance is the capital to support his own battle."
Cao Cao's face turned dark when he heard this. Such ridicule made him unhappy, but Cao Cao still held back. He just thought that his move was too dark and made Chen Xi unhappy. He didn't go into it too deeply. He really didn't know that Chen Xi's words were not just saying it, but real!
