Chapter 1851 Good fortune and misfortune depend on each other
Nowadays, Cao Cao has reached the point of life and death. When he is forced to the last moment, Cao Cao will not necessarily never make a choice that he would never make before.
Even for the sake of the circulation of Cao Cao's bloodline, Cao Cao may have the Cao family surrender to Li Xiang at the last moment.
When it is time to die, and the Cao family's defeat is certain, they naturally don't mind looking for the princes to take refuge, as long as they can survive. Even if there are some people who are willing to fight to the end, this is inevitable at all times.
people. However, there are definitely people who choose the opposite.
As for the latter, this is a force that Li Xiang can strive for.
Moreover, Li Xiang still has considerable advantages in this regard.
After the remaining forces of the Cao family have withdrawn from the stage of fighting for world hegemony, if they really want to imitate one force and join them, then what reason is there for not choosing the strongest one? What reason is there for not choosing the possibility of having the last laugh?
What about the biggest party?
If they join the weaker side, where will they go after that side is destroyed by the stronger one?
Therefore, Li Xiang thinks he still has a certain degree of confidence.
In fact, Li Xiang had already helped Cao Mengde by asking Bai Qi to carry out military exercises in Jingzhou. But this was all he could do. If he really wanted to use troops, Li Xiang would not be happy.
Thinking about how much the Jin army paid in the battle to conquer Shu, doesn't Li Xiang need to take a breath? Not to mention, Li Xiang is still fighting on the grassland!
Furthermore, Li Xiang’s next focus is on Nanman
If he really helps Cao Mengde, his southern plan will have to be delayed for two to three years at least. Although helping Cao Mengde is indeed beneficial to Li Xiang, it is not worth it. Or to be more precise, the benefits are not enough.
Too much.
Just like Zhu Yuanzhang is not happy that Zhao Kuangyin becomes the overlord of the Central Plains, helping Cao Cao is also beneficial to Zhu Yuanzhang. But Zhu Yuanzhang is indeed unable to spare manpower now, and it is impossible to really have a fight with Zhao Kuangyin because of this. The same is what Li Xiang is facing now
A situation.
However, although they are not prepared to agree to Cao Mengde's conditions, Xun You still has to send someone to appease him. This is a talent after all. After Cao Mengde is destroyed, Li Xiang has the best chance of attracting Xun You.
It's time for the Xun family members and Xun You to get in touch with each other more.
As for the sugar-coated cannonballs given by Cao Mengde, eat the sugar-coated shells first, and then the cannonballs should go back the way they came.
The quality of Cao Cao's daughter is quite good. Since the other party has already packed it up, Li Xiang might as well accept it temporarily.
Furthermore, this was originally the escape route Cao Cao gave himself.
Otherwise, I really thought that Cao Cao would be so impatient that he would ask Xun You to bring his three daughters to Luoyang without even saying a word.
As long as these three daughters can be thrust into Li Xiang's hands, no matter how they are thrust into Li Xiang's hands, from now on, the Cao family and the Li family can be regarded as in-laws.
In the future, if something unexpected happens to him, his descendants of the Cao family will also have a big tree that they can rely on and take refuge in, so that their bloodline will not be lost in this troubled world.
After all, this is also a way out for the Cao family. Even a person like Cao Cao absolutely does not want their old Cao family to end up with no descendants.
It was precisely because Li Xiang saw Cao Cao's thoughts that he gave him a chance to step down. According to Cao Cao's wishes, he kept his three daughters. In the future, after Cao Cao's power was destroyed, Cao's generals
When I came, I felt at ease.
At that time, they were not betraying their masters. They came to seek refuge with their uncle. They wanted to help their uncle avenge his old father-in-law!
The ancients valued names, and even risked their lives for a good reputation. With such a level, maybe there will be many more generals and civil servants in the future.
……………………
"My lord, the Imperial City Secretary has come to report that Cao Cao sent Xun You to the Jin Dynasty to marry the false emperor Li Zifeng!"
It didn't take long for Zhao Kuangyin to receive some news.
Many generals became a little worried after hearing the news. In this era, Li Zifeng's reputation for being lustful was even louder than that of wife Cao, or even much louder.
Therefore, it is really not entirely their fault that these generals have such concerns.
However, after Zhao Kuangyin heard the whispers of these generals, he almost couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Li Zifeng's reputation as a womanizer is indeed resounding, and she is famous among all the princes. Every victory in a battle means that Li Zifeng's harem will expand.
However, I have never heard that Li Zifeng would miss important events because of women. If Li Zifeng was really that kind of person, he wouldn't have beaten the princes of the world to this point.
"Lord, blessings and disasters depend on them, and misfortunes depend on them. In this world, blessings and disasters depend on each other. This is not a good thing!" Zhao Pu stepped forward with a smile at this time and reminded him.
"Yes, it seems that Cao Mengde was forced to have no choice!" After Zhao Pu made a withdrawal, Zhao Kuangyin chuckled lightly as he reacted.
If Cao Cao really had no other options, it would be absolutely impossible for him to make this last move, and it would also be absolutely impossible for him to ask Li Xiang for help.
After all, if Cao Cao did this, it would be equivalent to putting himself on the opposite side of the world's princes. This was to openly judge the Han camp and stand in line with the Jin camp!
After thinking of this, Zhao Kuangyin immediately sent people to launch a public opinion offensive. If this wave was created well, it would be even more impossible for Yuan Shao and Zhu Yuanzhang to help Cao Cao! At least, it would be impossible to continue to openly help Cao Cao!
"Lord, please note that Cao Mengde and Li Zifeng have been at war with each other for many years. There are many deep hatreds among the generals under their command!" Zhao Pu continued to remind.
No matter why Cao Cao wanted to make peace with the Jin army, he even sent his daughter directly. However, this move would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among some of his generals.
Cao's army and Jin's army fought so many great battles one after another, how come there weren't a few generals who had sworn enemies? Others were willing to be friendly with the Jin army, but those generals who had sworn enemies with the Jin army,
They are the group of people who are absolutely against the Jin army, and they are also the group of people who are definitely not happy for Cao Cao to befriend the Jin army.
Cao Cao's move can be regarded as leaving a loophole for himself. It depends on how they operate next!
Not only Zhao Pu, but also Sun Bin also sent letters from thousands of miles away, suggesting that Zhao Kuangyin should seize this opportunity to alienate Cao's generals.
