Originally, after Chen Xi made the incident in Xuzhou clear, with Liu Bei's normal behavior towards the people, it became inevitable that he would fight to the death with Cao Cao. Unfortunately, Chen Xi guessed the beginning correctly, but not the process. As for the result of annihilating Cao Cao, it has already come to an end.
He turned around on another road. How could Chen Xi let this happen?
Even Chen Xi had to admit that Cao Cao's campaign was a good move, just like what he ordered Liu Yan to do before. However, although Chen Lin and Mi Heng had sharp writing styles, it was difficult to prove that Cao Cao really killed so many people.
All they could spread was that Cao Cao actually carried out the massacre, which resonated with the princes of the world.
Dead people can't testify, which blocks the possibility of statistics. Cao Cao only needs to insist that he only massacred one Li, and the rest were done by other forces, and there is solid evidence, not to mention that Cao Cao will be wiped out.
, at least for the princes, Cao Cao has exposed this matter.
Even the previous exchanges between Chen Lin and Mi Heng became enemies throwing dirty water at each other, and it was impossible to explain clearly.
Of course, these are not the most important. For Chen Xi, even if Cao Cao is successfully cleared, if Liu Bei is determined to destroy Cao Cao, it will only be a matter of time. Now the only prince in the Central Plains who can actually fight with Liu Bei is Yuan Shao
Cao Cao cannot afford to hold back Dong Zhuo's remnants!
The biggest problem now is that Liu Bei has wavered, or that all Liu Bei's advisers except Chen Xi are not interested in annihilating Cao Cao. This is why Jia Xu's analysis is obviously biased in favor of Cao Cao, because Jia Xu and the others do not want to fight Cao Cao.
Because it’s not cost-effective!
For Jia Xu and others, Cao Cao is indeed a threat, but for the entire Liu Bei force, Yuan Shao of Jizhou is the biggest threat. Before defeating Yuan Shao, Jia Xu and others do not recommend destroying their own strategy, let alone destroying it.
Potential ally Cao **** approached Yuan Shao.
Based on these thoughts, anyone with a discerning eye can almost see the blood stained on Cao Cao's hands. However, Jia Xu inducedly mentioned Que Xuan and others to divert Cao Cao's attention from Liu Bei, and others also agreed. Indeed, the number of massacres was not high.
There are ways to make statistics, but that doesn’t mean that this group of people doesn’t have an estimate!
But the current situation is that from Jia Xu to Guo Jia to Liu Ye, no one from Li You gave an estimate. They all just mentioned that Cao Cao was providing disaster relief and killing the thugs who massacred the people, which made them think that Cao Cao should
Liu Bei, who had the same goals as him, once again had hope.
If he didn't know Cao Cao in history, Chen Xi would probably think that the actions of Jia Xu and others were reasonable. But knowing Cao Cao's character, Chen Xi would never let go of this opportunity. It is absolutely not advisable to let the tiger return to the mountain.
"Thief Cao!" The next moment Liu Bei regained consciousness, his eyes turned blood red, "Jia Wenhe tell me the truth!"
Liu Bei looked at Jia Xu with cold eyes, "Tell me the truth!"
"What I said before is indeed the truth. As for the number of people killed by Cao's army, there is no actual data and it is impossible to calculate this aspect." Jia Xu said calmly, not caring at all about Liu Bei's anger.
Suddenly Liu Bei's face turned pale. He was not stupid. He naturally understood what Jia Xu Huazhong meant. He couldn't count it, so he couldn't count it!
After smashing the entire case with one palm, Liu Bei turned around and left.
After Liu Bei left, the entire government office went silent. After a while, Chen Xi coughed twice and said, "Get ready, we are going to kill Cao Mengde."
"Zichuan, what the hell are you doing!" Liu Ye sighed and said. The remaining people present also looked at Chen Xi with bitter faces. In their opinion, what Xuzhou should do this time is not to use up its troops to kill Cao Cao, but to improve its performance.
Popular support, so that Xuzhou can be taken over stably when the time comes.
"I want to kill Cao Mengde. He did something he shouldn't have done." Chen Xi said calmly.
"A little impatience can ruin a big plan!" Li You said with a wry smile. Although he had not spoken before, he knew everything in his heart like a mirror, and he also agreed with Jia Xu and others' conservativeness after all.
This is not the time to have a big battle with Cao Cao and reassure Yuan Shao.
"This is not a trivial matter. This matter is big enough. It will soon spread all over the world. Whether others believe it or not, the bloody massacre of Xuzhou will spread all over the world. This is the best opportunity to destroy Cao Cao. If you miss it,
After this time, I can't guarantee whether there will be such an opportunity next time." Chen Xi said without hesitation. He really couldn't think of a more suitable time to eliminate Cao Cao and do it for the people.
Harmful!
"Zichuan, give me a reason." Guo Jiayan said concisely and concisely.
"Cao Mengde's potential is much greater than Yuan Benchu. I don't want to create a big enemy for us and spend more energy to deal with it in the future." Chen Xi looked at a few people and said, "To be fair, without the Xuzhou incident, how do you evaluate Cao Mengde?
of?"
Several people looked at each other and nodded silently. It was undeniable that Cao Cao was indeed a hero.
"But that's not the reason why you want to kill him here. I have learned about Cao Mengde's Cao army carefully, and their combat effectiveness is not weak. Once the war starts, although we can surely win as long as we delay it, the variables are too great.
When things get mixed up to this extent, Yuan Benchu is already qualified to save the situation." Jia Xu said dissatisfiedly. In his opinion, potential and strength have nothing to do with each other. Their biggest enemy now is Yuan Benchu!
"Yes, the water has become muddy. Our message can indeed spread all over the world, but the problem is that once a war begins, the effect of our message will be greatly reduced. This reprimand that originally stood at the highest level of morality has become a joke.
In the eyes of other forces, we and Cao Cao are just smearing the enemy." Guo Jia also agreed, the biggest problem here is this, once the war begins, it becomes a joke.
"...This is my carelessness. Let's put the appeal aside for now. This matter has been dealt with by Cao Mengde. By then, Yuan Shao will indeed have the confidence to send troops to assist Cao Mengde. We are indeed not at the highest level of morality. Even if
I'm afraid I won't get any favors even if Tao Gongzu testifies." Chen Xi pinched his eyebrows and said gloomily, Cao Mengde's large number of witnesses is the biggest trouble.
"What's more important is that there is no actual value in beating Cao Mengde. It can only allow Yuan Benchu to take advantage. According to my estimation, now that the massacre has been wiped out like this, even if we severely damage Cao's army by then, it is not easy to destroy Cao Cao."
Maybe, Yuan Benchu is absolutely willing to take over, which means that we have a high possibility of forcing a potential ally to Yuan Benchu's side." Li You sighed and said, "The biggest trouble with this matter is that there is no prince.
No one, including Tao Gongzu, could prove how many people Cao Cao killed."
"We can prove it!" Chen Xi said with a sneer, "Isn't what Cao Mengde did just teach us how to do it? Can he produce evidence to prove that he did not kill those 100,000 people?"
