Cao Cao sat in the hall, his thick eyebrows furrowed.
There were only Xun Yu and Guo Jia on the left and right, and the rest were excluded. They were not allowed to give orders and were not allowed to approach. Anyone who disobeyed the orders would be killed.
Between the three people, there is a pile of letters, all kinds of letters, some sealed with bamboo tubes and lacquered, and some sewn from brocade bags. They are all different, but the recipients are all the same person, not Cao Cao, but
It's Yuan Shao.
"...I don't think I'm too weak to treat this..." Cao Cao's voice was hoarse, like gravel rubbing against each other, "...Why is it still like this?"
"Zixu does not always exist among people in the world, but Wuji always does..." Xun Yu said, "... everything today is just the past of Chu and Qin..."
Cao Cao raised his head, let out a sigh, and then took one of the letters at random, "Servant Zhang... Haha, I wrote a letter two days ago, saying that I have made great contributions to quelling the chaos, and I should increase my position as a general... Filial piety, you say
,Why can these people do such things!"
"..." Guo Jia was silent for a moment, and then, unsatisfied with Xun Yu's eyes, he just lowered his head and whispered, "... If you welcome a new master, you will definitely be promoted."
"Ah, haha...hahahaha..." Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed up to the sky, laughing so hard that tears flowed out, "That's right! That's right! I will be promoted to a higher position, and I will be promoted to a higher position!"
Cao Cao grabbed a handful of various letters, raised them high, and then released them. He watched the bamboo bags falling one after another, as if watching the setting sun, "That's it, let's fight!"
Xun Yu frowned and said, "Lord!"
Cao Cao ignored Xun Yu, but turned to Guo Jia and said, "Tomorrow, I will summon all the ministers. Can you tell me something to tell them about your filial piety?"
Guo Jia cupped his hands and said: "I must have said that my lord will definitely win..."
"Good!" Cao Cao nodded, and then said, "There are provisions and baggage, Wen Ruo also went to prepare one or two... prepare to march to Yangshan..."
"Yangshan? The Yang of Mount Tai?" Xun Yu thought for a moment, and almost immediately understood Cao Cao's thoughts, but still persuaded him, "Lord, if this is the case, there is no way to retreat..." Xun Yu was
I wanted Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to split, but I didn't want such an obvious expression or such a decisive split.
Cao Cao laughed heartily, "During this journey, have you ever retreated?"
Outside the hall, the autumn wind whistled across the sky, making a sound like an invisible giant waving a sword randomly in the air.
Xun Yu did not persuade him any more and took the order to retreat. Xun Yu was now like Cao Cao's chief steward and logistics minister. Many materials were allocated through him. Therefore, Cao Cao had to carry out some war actions. Other departments may not have allocated them yet, but
Xun Yu had to get busy first.
Guo Jia raised his eyes slightly and saw Cao Cao staring at Xun Yu's retreating figure. His heart suddenly jumped and he quickly lowered his eyes. Then he felt that Cao Cao seemed to have turned his gaze and scratched his head and face, as if he was being pointed by a knife.
generally.
"Fengxiao..." Cao Cao withdrew his gaze, looked at the sky, and said slowly, "...can we...win?"
Guo Jia still lowered his head and did not answer immediately. After pausing for a moment, he said: "Others can surrender or be rewarded... but our people... have no other way..."
Cao Cao pondered for a moment. Not only did he not feel discouraged by Guo Jia's words, but he smiled a little. He stood up and said loudly: "You and I are compatible as monarchs and ministers. If we work together, what will happen if there are thorns all over the place? Let's break it."
Let's go! A true man, you should live in the broadest place in the world, establish the right position in the world, and walk the great road of the world!"
"I would like to have my lord with you and bring peace to the world!" Guo Jia bowed down.
"Haha, haha..." Cao Cao personally helped Guo Jia up and said with a gentle smile, "If you are filial and polite, everything will be fine! By the way, I got two or three roasted swans, which are very delicious.
, I can't bear to eat alone, and I want to share it with Fengxiao and Wenruo... Come here! Go to the backyard and get the swan from the box!"
"Thank you, my lord." Guo Jia also smiled and said, "My lord, how did you know that someone has been greedy recently and has nowhere to look for it? If you get this delicacy, you will be happy again..."
"Haha!" Cao Cao laughed and pointed at Guo Jia, "Although the wine is good, don't drink too much! That's all, that's all, I know you are thinking about the wine in a certain house... Come, prepare two more jars of wine for Feng Xiao.
And take it away!”
…………………………
"Mother, what are you..." Cao Ang walked in slowly and saw Mrs. Ding asking her servants to clean two boxes and lay brocade inside the boxes. He couldn't help but feel a little strange and asked.
"Zixiu! Why did you come out?" Mrs. Ding stepped forward quickly, grabbed Cao Ang, looked at Cao Ang's face worriedly, frowned and said, "Your injury is not healed, how can you run around?"
"Mom, it's okay..." Cao Ang smiled and wanted to pat the wound to show off, but he pulled at the wound and couldn't help but grinned, "Father, uncle and the others were also injured...Didn't my mother also say that?
How can a man be afraid of wounds when he has to walk a thorny road? I have been in the house for a long time and am very stuffy. I want to go out for a walk...Mother, what are you doing? Aren't these two boxes your favorite?
?”
"You are right... You should go back and have a good rest later..." Mrs. Ding wanted to touch Cao Ang's head lovingly. Halfway through raising her hand, she suddenly remembered something, so she put it down and took Cao Ang's hand.
He held his hand and said warmly, "My son will also inherit the great cause in the future. I still need to learn more from your father about the art of controlling people..."
"... The grains are six, and the beams are set up. The cauldrons are full of hope, and they are fragrant. There are birds, pigeons, and jackals in the soup..." Mrs. Ding read with a smile, then turned to look at Cao Ang and said
, "The roasted swan is a delicacy of the Chu State. It just so happens that these two lacquer boxes are also painted in the style of Jingchu. With the addition of Chu Ding, even a stupid person can understand it... How about it, my son has ever understood it.
?”
Cao Ang: "==_=?"
"Son, you really need to read more..." Mrs. Ding couldn't help but caressed the back of Cao Ang's head and said with a smile, "This is Qu Zi's big move..."
Big move?
What ultimate move?
The ultimate move where A, B, C and D are pressed together? Do you want to push the joystick?
Cao Ang was confused.
"... Where is your father? These two swans are for Xun Wenruo and Guo Fengxiao..." Mrs. Ding continued while instructing the maid to place the swans on the brocade in the lacquer box, "Think about it
Ah, does this current situation look like the time when Qu Zi made a big move? Do you think that your father is just to send two swans? No...Government and deeds are promoted, harshness is prohibited.
Stop it. If you win directly, you will be close to Yu. If a hero is in power, you will give him a generous favor... Do you understand?"
Cao Ang blinked, half understanding...
"You still don't understand?" Mrs. Ding was a little dumbfounded, so she started to chase Cao Ang, "Go, go to the study and look for Qu Zi's book and read it yourself! You stupid head!"
…………………………
"Ten wins and ten losses?" Liu Xie laughed dumbly. "What did Cao Sikong say?"
"Cao Si Kongyan, how can he be so virtuous..." Xiao Huangmen said in a low voice.
"Well, I understand, let's go down..."
Liu Xie nodded, let Xiao Huangmen retreat, and then sat alone in the main hall, looking at the empty hall around him, at the speechless red lacquer pillars standing on both sides, and at the black lacquered and gold-painted partitions that sat securely,
Frowning, he murmured to himself in a low voice, "Haha, well said, very well said..."
The voice was faint and thin, just like the empty echo in the hall, but I don't know whether Liu Xie's words are good, whether he means ten wins and ten losses, or Cao Cao's words, which are worthy of being said.
…
…………………………
"Ten wins and ten defeats?" Jia Qu's eyes widened, and then he said, "Soon, Cao Sikong sent troops to attack Mount Tai? This, this is not..." Normally, he declared how bad Yuan Shao was and how superior Cao Cao was, and then followed the instructions
Logically speaking, it means "if we fight Yuan Shao, we will definitely win, let's start the war as soon as possible"...
As a result, Cao Cao twisted his butt and turned around to beat the Taishan bandits? His troops pointed directly at the sun of Mount Tai, and then he didn't even look like he was marching into Jizhou, Hebei!
Jia Qu, who was instructed by General Fei Qian to conquer the West and had been paying attention to the changes in Jizhou and Yanzhou, couldn't believe his eyes after receiving the information.
This turn of events not only blinded the titanium eyes of the crowd, but also blinded many old waists. This turn of events was really unexpected and thrilling. It was like a high-profile announcement of ten reasons.
I could play in the World Cup, but then I turned around and found a kindergarten football team to practice my feet first...
What does Cao Cao want to do?
…………………………
"What does this Cao Ah Man want to do?" Yuan Shao frowned and threw the newly obtained information on the table with dissatisfaction. What about ten wins and ten losses, it makes no sense!
Tian Feng slightly twirled his beard, pondered for a moment, suddenly laughed, cupped his hands and said, "This is Cao Sikong's plan... Lord, don't worry..."
Yuan Shao became somewhat interested and turned around and asked, "I would like to hear the details."
While sorting out his thoughts, Tian Feng said: "My lord, Cao Sikong went south to Yuyang. Although he made gains, he also suffered losses... Therefore, Cao Sikong's remarks can confuse the audience, stabilize the court, and stabilize the court.
Come on...hehe, it's also a warning...hehe, hehe..."
Yuan Shao nodded, couldn't help but sigh, and said: "So, this Cao Ah Man, did he tell it to Gu on purpose?"
Tian Feng smiled but did not answer.
Guo Tu said at the side: "In this case, does it mean that Cao Sikong is fierce in appearance and does not dare to fight?"
Tian Feng glanced at Guo Tu from the corner of his eyes, then raised his nostrils slightly and said to Guo Tu with his nostrils: "No! The public has a pure mind and does not know the evil of the human heart..."
Guo Tu chuckled, but his eyes darkened. Damn, you are pure, and your whole family is pure! After all, for a counselor, being pure in mind is not a good adjective, just like a leader saying to his subordinates
It's not a good thing to say that you are a good person or that you are talented.
Yuan Shaoquan pretended that he could not see the small friction between Tian Feng and Guo Tu, and just continued to ask Tian Feng: "Yuan Hao has something to say, you might as well say it!"
"Cao Sikong wants to fight!" Tian Feng said decisively, "In the past, my lord ordered him to escort His Majesty to Yecheng. There were various reasons and various explanations to delay it. Now there is even this theory of ten wins and ten losses.
This clearly shows his wolfish ambition! Therefore, Cao Sikong already regards his lord as an enemy, so he asserts that there must be a battle!"
Guo Tu was stunned, blinked, and couldn't help but said: "Mr. Tian, what you said just now is that Cao Sikong has declared that he will not fight, and that he will avoid fighting. This time, he also said that Cao Sikong has made up his mind and wants to fight with him.
The Lord fights to the death... This, haha, what exactly is that?"
Yuan Shao was also a little confused and nodded in agreement.
"Young Master has a pure mind and doesn't think about the mystery..." Tian Feng said slowly, regardless of Guo Tu's face being as smelly as stool, "Now that the Lord has power in Hebei, he is sitting in the quiet Hebei, and Yanzhou is within easy reach, how can he have nothing?"
Turmoil? Cao Sikong saw that the government and the public were vacillating, so he declared ten victories and ten defeats to stabilize the morale of the army! However, now that Cao's army is exhausted, with a shortage of soldiers, and unable to fight, he has avoided it and moved to Mount Tai... My Lord, if at this time
We can send our generals to advance to Yanzhou and directly enter Xu County. This will destroy their illusions and ensure a great victory!"
"Oh?" After hearing this, Yuan Shao pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know Yuan Hao's intention, who will do it?"
"It should be General Wen! You can make General Wen take the lead, with Zhang Junyi as the assistant, just like when he marched west to attack Yecheng, and captured Xu County by surprise! In this way, Cao Sikong will definitely be defenseless, and Yanyu will definitely be disrupted.
Cut off its foundation!" After all, Tian Feng was very sophisticated and saw through Cao Cao at a glance, and then made targeted suggestions.
Yuan Shao seemed a little moved.
Guo Tu was standing aside, but he felt very unhappy in his heart. This old guy repeatedly said that a certain person had a pure heart. Seeing that he was old and half-buried, he didn't care too much about it. But what was the point of mentioning a good life or not?
The Battle of Yecheng, isn't this rubbing someone's face on the ground?
So when he saw Yuan Shao's hesitant look, he naturally understood in his heart and said: "Tian Gong's words are wrong! Now Cao Sikong only said that if the two families go to war, there will be victory or defeat. He did not want to fight, so he turned his army to Mount Tai.
It is also to show the lord that he does not want to be an enemy of the lord! What's more, if the army goes deep alone, if he wins, he will pay it back. If he loses, the whole army will definitely be wiped out! It should be noted that the lord has only such a cavalry in his account! Now it is
In autumn, Youbei has not yet been pacified, Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Liaodong are three places. If you know that the lord has mobilized the cavalry to go south and cause chaos, how can you deal with it? Mr. Tian, you need to put the overall situation first..."
After Guo Tu finished speaking, he suddenly felt sour all over his body and stroked his beard contentedly.
"Humph, I'm an ignorant young man who doesn't understand military affairs, so don't say anything!" Tian Feng said unceremoniously, "The cavalry turns to fight and rushes thousands of miles. This is the beauty of riding! If you ride to Yanzhou, it will be like a hot blade cutting you."
Zhi, directly exploit the disadvantages, wait until the government and the public are turbulent, and the morale of the army is shattered, then the lord can win without fighting! Youbei can place suspicious troops, wait until they know, and our army will return. This is the best strategy! Lord, please don't
hesitate!"
"If we lose, my lord's five thousand elite cavalry will never come back!" Guo Tu also said without any sign of weakness, "It doesn't matter, even if Youbei is turbulent, General Wen can rush back in time. After running for thousands of miles, his horse power is exhausted.
How can we fight? If the Expedition to the West comes again, how will the Lord respond? It should be noted that on the side of Yinshan Mountain, there are also 4,000 cavalry from the Expedition to the West, and nearly 10,000 Xiongnu cavalry! If General Wen suffers a slight loss, let alone Youbei.
We are all under the hooves of Zhengxi! My lord, don’t be careless!”
Tian Feng turned to glare at Guo Tu, and Guo Tu also looked at Tian Feng with contempt.
Yuan Shao saw Tian Feng and Guo Tu fighting each other like cockfighting cocks, blowing their beards and staring, he couldn't help but feel a headache, pinched his temples on both sides, and then said: "I know, I know... you two will retreat for now.
Next, let me think about it for a moment, think about it for a moment..."
