"Do you want to fight?"
"Are you really going to fight?"
Cao Cao didn't know how many times he asked himself in his heart.
Guo Jia was there, silent.
Cao Cao has lost weight a lot these days, and so has Guo Jia.
In order to maintain a sharper mind and continue to have a strong energy, Guo Jia even broke up again.
The pressure on both the monarch and the minister is very great.
Of course, the most important pressure is still on Cao Cao.
Before, he beat Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, or Tao Qian and Liu Biao, he did not look forward to it like he is now.
I had no worries before. On the one hand, he was short before, and on the other hand, because he really had no choice at that time.
The reason why Er Yuan was beaten was a direct threat that Er Yuan had to face. If it was not solved, either his family would not be protected, or his life would be in danger at any time.
The reason for beating Tao Liu was because of Cao Cao's financial difficulties. If he didn't find anything to eat, he would fall apart...
Now, it is not a major threat to start a war with Fei Cun, nor does it mean that he cannot survive, but he just happens to have a "opportunity".
Of course, the problem lies in the opportunity that happened to be available.
Cao Cao had been discussing with Guo Jia for a long time.
Many people in later generations thought that information was of no value and knowledge was of no use, but because a lot of knowledge in later generations was already very cheap. As long as you put a little thought, you can naturally obtain it. Without going through much hardship, you will certainly not cherish it.
But Cao Cao did not.
He does not have nine-year compulsory education, nor does he have a lot of historical experience to provide him with reference. How to fight and how to do it. Perhaps in the eyes of later generations, these problems are not difficult to solve. There are even some pirates who jumped out while despising Cao Cao while showing their superiority. But what if the precedents left by more than two thousand years of history for future generations are excluded, then what can pirates have left?
There is only one example of Liu Xiu, which may be referred to as one or two, and perhaps Wang Mang, this failed case of half a bucket of water.
Therefore, in front of Cao Cao, he wanted to win, dominate the world, and even reached the position of emperor, but how could he get to this point smoothly instead of falling to death halfway?
『Pang Shiyuan, real and real…』 Cao Cao sighed, 『Awesome…』
Cao Cao guessed that Pang Tong was doing something, but the question was how many of them were real and how many were fake? How much information was released on purpose, and what was hidden from him?
Guo Jia was silent and frowned. As a counselor, he should have broken through the fog for Cao Cao and pointed directly at the core, but now he can't do it. Everything he experienced and saw in Guanzhong caused a huge impact on his original concept. The things he originally thought were impossible were realized in Guanzhong, which also made some things in Guo Jia's heart begin to shake. After these things were shaken, he naturally couldn't make a positive judgment.
This is undoubtedly dangerous for a counselor...
Is the relationship between Pang Tong and Wei Yan really bad? If you want to explain it, it is not difficult. After all, Pang Tong was born as a gentry and Wei Yan was promoted to the army, so the two people will have different values ​​and different cognitions. Isn’t it normal to have conflicts?
But at the moment, this kind of "normal" inevitably makes me feel a little "abnormal".
Then the question arises again. If it is determined that this is abnormal, will it fall into Pang Tong's calculations again and become a slow strategy to delay Cao Cao's pace?
In later generations, those who have read books and those who have not read much can say a few words, but now I won’t talk about whether there are any thirty-six strategies. Even if they are taken to Cao Cao and Guo Jia, they may not be of any use.
Between reality and goals, it cannot be achieved overnight.
Everyone knows that copying homework is great, but after all, the one I copied is wrong and I can't find a ready-made road. And it is very likely that it is full of traps, the water is deep and turbulent, and even the stones cannot be touched.
So Cao Cao and Guo Jia could only think about it again, ask and deduce it over and over again.
There were only two cases in the Han Dynasty that successfully won Guanzhong and finally became emperor, one was Liu Paopuo, and the other was Liu Zhuanxing. As for Wang Mang, he was a good handful of cards. If there was a king who insisted on dismantling the singles, and if there was a Shunzi, he had to produce a three-person game, so naturally there was nothing to learn.
Some of Liu Paopu’s homework can be copied, while others cannot.
Although Xiang Yu had Guanzhong at that time, the generals under his command were not harmonious, and the generals were also incompatible. Then the troops were dispersed, and they were proud and paralyzed, etc., which seemed to be able to be copied. However, unlike Xiang Yu, the elite soldiers in Xiang Yu's hands were from Chu, and the elite soldiers in Fei Qian's hands were basically from Yong Liang.
At least it is impossible to make a living by being surrounded by enemies. If you can't just copy homework and make a song of Guanzhong, it will inspire these people to defend their homes and lands...
Liu Xiu's success lies in his balance and integration of power in Jizhou and Yuzhou, as well as the Bingzhou generation, and then he watched the tiger fight and finally won. But similarly, Liu Xiu's homework cannot be copied as soon as he wants, at least in terms of integrating the gentry system. Although Lao Cao has worked very hard, he obviously has not married enough.
Although Lao Cao is not of sufficient quality, he can only use quantity to make up, but has not accumulated to a level of qualitative change. Moreover, his current problem is not only between him and the emperor, but also between him and the emperor. Even the members of the Xiahou clan of his own Cao family are also in trouble.
In the past, everyone was hungry. Now that they had meat, everyone would not only not feel happy, but they felt very resentful!
Don’t worry about lack of weight but worry about inequality!
But can Cao Cao be "equal"?
He can't even get it!
As a "slapmaker", he naturally became the object of jealousy.
So can you copy the homework of Feiqian in Guanzhong?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! You can't copy it either!
Why is Fei Qian not hated like Cao Cao? On the one hand, the gentry and powerful people in Guanzhong are not as strong as Shandong, and on the other hand, the emperor is not in Fei Qian's family. The key is that after Fei Qian took the money, many of them paid back to local construction and distributed benefits to the people of the Sanfu Guanzhong. This made many people unable to speak even if they wanted to attack Fei Qian and could not find a suitable angle.
Three homeworks were placed in front of me, but Cao Cao couldn't copy them!
Shandong is much larger than Guanzhong and has a larger population. Fei Qian invested one point. If Cao Cao wanted to study, he had to invest ten points! Moreover, Fei Qian had inspectors and bachelor of agriculture and engineering under him. Generally speaking, yes, even so, it only generally guaranteed the distribution of welfare. What about Cao Cao? When the money and materials he gave were lower, they would mostly turn into old, rotten, or they would tear off the label and sell it as his own...
Fei Qian had no one on his head, and Cao Cao had an emperor sitting on his head.
Even the emperor who is famous is very troublesome and is getting more and more troublesome.
It is certain that the master is shocked by high merit, but it does not mean that it will be shocked only when the master is high. When it is not very high, it will also shock.
So can we take a step back if we can broaden the sky?
Cao Cao couldn't even step back because Cao Cao knew that this was just like the words he said when he climbed onto the bed of other ladies, "I just went into the house to sit and never went to your bedroom", "I just chatted with you by the bed, and never took off my clothes", "I never did anything after taking off my clothes", "I just touched it"...
When you give in because it is not a matter of principle, then in the end, these give in will definitely become a breakthrough in principle.
Therefore, Cao Cao could not give in, could not retreat, could only advance.
Only move forward!
Go forward!
Either they entered the body of the gentry, or coveted Fei Qian's body.
The higher the level in the feudal dynasty, the more difficult it is for superiors and subordinates to work together. Fei Qian threw the gentry and powerful men aside and directly contacted the lower-level people with the meritorious class. The efficiency is naturally better than Cao Cao, but can Cao Cao learn it?
He couldn't learn it, so in the end, Cao Cao could only follow Liu Xiu, suppressing and winning over.
But the effect is not ideal.
Suppression and resentment.
There are only a few who can win over.
Because Cao Cao is not as strong as in history, there is a good neighbor next door reminding the Shandong gentry that there is not only one company...
Pang Tong was doing something in Guanzhong and almost wrote the word "there is a pit" in front of Cao Cao and Guo Jia.
Do you dare to come, do you want to jump?
"The arrow is on the string..." Cao Cao was so refreshed.
Guo Jia gritted his teeth, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows seemed to be deep.
Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia and suddenly burst into laughter, his voice loudly, "I laughed at the cavalry, but I was not in military affairs, and I took risks easily, which made Guanzhong empty. Is this a battle not ridiculous? Ah, hahaha..."
Guo Jia reluctantly bowed and dealt with it casually, but the wrinkles between his eyebrows did not ease at all.
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, still glanced at Guo Jia's expression, and shouted: "Let's get some good wine!"
Guo Jia's expression was slightly loose, and he smiled bitterly helplessly.
After a few glasses of wine, Guo Jia's nerves were relieved a little. He whispered: "Lord... I really hope I can fight Wuhuan before..."
Cao Cao was silent for a little while, nodded and said, "I know. Now that things have come to this, what can I do about it?"
Soldiers who only know how to fight civil war will be disdained even if they have many great achievements. The value of soldiers is always the first priority to resist foreign enemies. The reason why Fei Qian has such a great reputation is inseparable from the fact that Fei Qian's previous achievements in resisting the Xianbei, expelling the Wuhuan, controlling the Mobei, and then opening the Western Regions.
People in Shandong can mock Feiqian's literature, slander Feiqian's economy, and abuse Feiqian's system, but when talking about these foreign wars, they just shut up and turn to other things.
Guo Jia's original plan was to obtain some practical external achievements as soon as possible during this period of the Feiqian expedition during the Western Expedition, rather than the previous boasting results. In the surrounding environment, there are only foreign tribes that Cao Cao can contact, fight, and gain.
Guo Jia’s arrangement is correct.
Cao Cao's attack on Wuhuan in history was not only because Yuan Shao's son and the remaining Yuan family's forces also had political considerations. Fighting Wuhuan was not only a demand for his own interests, but also determined the basis for Cao Cao's replacement of Yuan Shao's rule.
Because in history, with the decline of the Han Dynasty, not only the Wuhuan, but also the Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu were eyeing the Han Dynasty and even plundering the Han border. Of course, it is unknown whether the background of these plunderings has the bonus of the Little Ice Age, but it undoubtedly aggravated the pain of the Han people and brought the most direct harm to many people.
All wars are actually a continuation of politics.
Just like the Han Emperor left Chang'an in history and hired the Southern Xiongnu people to protect him for his own safety. When he arrived at Luoyang, no prince was willing to pay for this employment! In desperation, the Han Emperor could only acquiesce to the Southern Xiongnu people to loot under his nose as reward.
Did the surrounding princes have no money? Perhaps, but more of the tacit understanding formed between the princes, to let Liu Xie know that the imperial power is useless and worthless, and at the same time, to attack the royalists around Liu Xie... Then Cao Cao expelled the Southern Xiongnu and rescued the emperors just right.
Cao Cao's attack on Wuhuan in history was to wipe out the Wuhuan forces that were pro-Yuan, and to show political correctness on the other hand. With Yuan Shao's son awarded the title of head, the Jizhou faction lay down between Cao Cao's legs with a down-eyed look on his face.
Now, without this process, the people from Jizhou are twisting and disobeying.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Guo Jia said that he hoped Cao Cao would fight Wuhuan, which is indeed a good opportunity to attack Guanzhong at the moment, but in a sense it violates the values ​​of the Han Dynasty...
Just like in the history of Cao Cao's attack on the Wuhuan, Liu Biao was unwilling to send troops to attack Xuchang, whose troops were weak. Even if Liu Bei repeatedly persuaded him, he did not take action in the end. From the perspective of the success of the king and the defeated bandits in later generations, Liu Biao was of course a typical example of hesitation and ultimately defeated. However, if it were related to the character set up by Liu Biao in Jingzhou, if Liu Biao took action at that time, his character set would collapse.
Liu Biao did not rely on his troops to control Jingzhou, but relied on his loft to enter Xiangyang alone, talking about the character of destroying clans and thieves to maintain the balance between the gentry and powerful people in Jingzhou. Therefore, if Liu Biao had taken advantage of the situation, it would be one thing to take advantage of the situation and whether Jingzhou could conquer Xu County. After the character collapsed, it would be another thing to maintain the balance of Jingzhou.
From this perspective, Liu Bei offered a plan to let Liu Biao take advantage of Cao Cao's main troops in the north to attack Xuchang. It looked beautiful, but it actually also contained ill-intentions.
Mr. Luo's fiction of Liu Bei's Ma Yue Tanxi's incident, perhaps based on this point. After all, Liu Biao's intake of Liu Bei was considered benevolent and righteous in the eyes of the people of Jingzhou, but Liu Bei actually dared to instigate Liu Biao to do unkind and unrighteous things. Moreover, Liu Biao really raised an army to attack Cao Cao, the biggest beneficiary was the people of Jingzhou?
No, it happened to be Liu Bei!
Therefore, the doves of the Jingzhou gentry were naturally very dissatisfied with Liu Bei. If you want to teach Liu Bei a little lesson, Liu Biao could only turn a blind eye, mediate the two sides and comfort each other.
However, it happened that Liu Bei showed his ambitions and was favored by the Jingzhou Hawks...
After all, the Zhuge family was lost in that time because of Cao Cao's eastern expedition to Xuzhou.
Every peck and drink is like heaven's destiny.
Now, Guo Jia's plan to create a golden body for Cao Cao first, at least apply some golden paint first, is shattered.
Cao Cao had no time to fight Wuhuan. Under the pressure of both internal and external, he could only fight Chang'an first.
Of course, there is another factor, that is, he feels that he can't beat Zhao Yun. If he fights all the cavalry with Zhao Yun, how can he defend such a large plain as Jizhou and Yuzhou?
The emperor did not give Cao Cao time, and the gentry and powerful people in Jizhou and Yuzhou did not give Cao Cao time. Even Pang Tong in Chang'an also posed in various coquettish postures to lure Cao Cao.
Chang'an has become like this, don't you, Cao?
Classmate Cao, do you have any problems?
Even if Cao Cao could tolerate it, what about the others under Cao Cao's command?
That's why Cao Cao sighed that "the arrow is on the string" and had to snap.
At this moment, many things have derailed from Cao Cao's hands, just like a vehicle running down from the top of a mountain. It can be controlled at the beginning, but after the speed increases, it is not something that can be held by the few reins in Cao Cao's hands.
If you really miss such an opportunity because of fighting Wuhuan, then who will blame you in the future?
Who will take the blame?
Cao Cao transferred his army southward, to some extent, to save Guo Jia's life. Although Cao Cao's northern expedition to Wuhuan had to bear huge mental pressure, was the main adviser who gave Cao Cao advice at all?
Cao Cao knew that Guo Jia was really planning for him wholeheartedly, so when Guo Jia spoke out in a blunt manner, he could be said to be a little disobeying Cao Cao's will, and he didn't say anything. He even asked the servants to serve fine wine to relieve Guo Jia and Cao Cao's own anxiety nerves.
Being strong requires capital.
Liu Bang, the founding country, accumulated a lot of capital in Sichuan and Sichuan, and even had a large number of Guanzhong soldiers who had originally turned against each other when attacking Guanzhong.
Compromise comes at a price.
The ones who paid the price for Liu Xiu were Yin Lihua and the powerful gentry who were in Runan in the early years.
What about now?
When Cao Cao needed to copy homework, he wanted to be strong, but only with the Qingzhou soldiers and other surrendered troops that he had gathered seemed to be able to fight, but it was a bit insufficient and could not be so strong. He wanted to compromise, but there was no second Yin Lihua. Even if Xun Yu tried his best to control the Yuzhou faction, not all the Yuzhou faction were willing to bow their heads to call themselves sisters in front of the people of Jizhou.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, both of them were somewhat excited by the stimulation of alcohol.
"I want to enter Guanzhong, I have passed two passes." Guo Jia said slowly, and after drinking some wine, his voice was still a little hoarse and dry, like a riverbed with water shortage. A little water flow could not completely improve the situation. "It is not difficult to seize Luoyang,"
"However, it is difficult to break Tongguan... The cavalry is deployed to defend Guanzhong, which is originally one virtual and one solid. The place where Tongguan is the real. The pass is majestic and the mountain road is narrow and long. If it is confronted for a long time, it is conducive to defense but not to attack..."
Guo Jia's finger suddenly turned around on the map, "So if you want to get Guanzhong, you should first take Hedong and fight in the north..."
This is Fei Qian's homework. Although most of it cannot be copied, the route Fei Qian took before once again proved the importance of taking Hedong first by taking Guanzhong.
Cao Cao nodded.
It is not difficult to copy homework, the key is to know that you have to write your own name...
