"It's better not to do it. If you are too deliberate, Xun Youruo, Tian Yuanhao and the others may see the flaw." Chen Xi shook his head and said.
"Too much is not enough, forget it. In that case, it all depends on Wenru's operation. After all, if Wenru has mental arithmetic but no intention, it will be difficult for anyone to resist. It depends on Wenru's performance." Jia Xu sighed and said,
He was also a little excited. The master of calculation always gave him a kind of spiritual excitement.
"It's calculated mentally but not intentionally." Chen Xi seemed to have thought of something not good, "You said that if Xun Wen had calculated Chen Gongtai in advance, how could the current situation be solved? By the way, Kong Ming's strategy for Cao Mengde would probably make Cao Mengde angry.
It’s half dead. What seemed like a feasible strategy at the time has now become a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water.”
"I remember you mentioned Kong Ming's strategy. It seems to be very feasible. In fact, many of it is damaging the foundation. Zhuge Kongming is not so kind." Jia Xu shook his head and said, "And that strategy
At first glance, it is indeed perfect, but in fact, upon closer inspection, you will find that there are many hidden dangers. Cao Mengde cannot see it when he is angry, but he will understand it when he calms down."
In fact, Jia Xu also thought bad. Cao Cao was angry at the time, and after reading it, he was so angry with Zhuge Liang that he tore Zhuge Liang's letter into pieces. Although he remembered Zhuge's strategy was excellent, he didn't want to think about that sad period.
He did not think twice about Zhuge Liang's strategy, so in Cao Cao's mind, Zhuge Liang was actually a wise man with superhuman intelligence.
"I know you can't deceive people. If you really want to deceive people like you, unless you are willing to take risks, then a letter alone cannot withstand scrutiny." Chen Xi also sighed and said, that letter
The letter itself was used by Zhuge Liang to show his wisdom and make Cao Cao regret it for the rest of his life. Being able to deceive him for a while is enough to show Zhuge Liang's wisdom.
"There is no way. Not to mention Xun Wenruo, Xi Zhicai and others, Cao Mengde himself is one of the most wise men in the world." Jia Xu sighed and said, "As for the situation you mentioned, I have thought about it again and again before, and there is only one
It’s possible.”
Chen Xi also had a bitter look on his face when he heard this. He combined Chen Gong's character, Lu Bu's personality, Xun Yu's caution, Cao Cao's domineering and cherishing talents, and the composition of the Cao family's conspiracy, and finally deduced that the only possibility was actually like this.
"Did Zichuan guess it too?" Jia Xu sighed and said. He had always been curious about what was going on with Chen Xi. Sometimes he was dull, but sometimes he showed intelligence that didn't scare anyone.
"If Xun Wen takes one step and sees three steps, can this be played?" Chen Xi said speechlessly, "If this is the only possibility, then there is nothing to say. This has become an inevitable situation, and I am really helpless."
"Hahaha, you said Xun Wenruo took one step and looked at three steps. Didn't you also take one step and look at three steps? What's more, weren't Xun Wenruo's tricks so far forced to do so by you?" Jia Xu laughed and said,
"You, Chen Zichuan, always forget to count yourself. Xun Wenruo, like you, takes one step at a time, but he cannot grasp the general trend and can only be forced to move around by you."
"It's not that simple. Whether you admit it or not, Cao's army is indeed getting stronger and stronger. Even if we were defeated this time, it is still several times stronger than when we returned from Hulao Pass. Xun Wenruo has been strengthening Cao's army." Chen Xi shook.
He shook his head and said, Xun Yu, whom Cao Cao calls "my son-in-law", is indeed very difficult to deal with. His existence is too important for the stability of Cao Cao's rear.
"However, after this defeat, it will be difficult for Cao Mengde to rise again. Lu Fengxian will not give him a chance. After more than three months of strong attack, Cao Mengde cannot stop him. When the summer grain comes down, Cao Mengde will be sad." Jia Xu said calmly.
"Cao Mengde listened to the words of Zao Zhi and Xun Wenruo and opened up the wasteland of Yanzhou for full-scale farming. As a result, now Lu Bu has basically occupied all of Yanzhou, and 90% of the farming area has fallen into Lu Bu's hands. This can only be said to be self-defeating." Jia Xu said this repeatedly. Shaking his head, he really didn't want to say anything about Cao Cao's bad luck.
Chen Xi sighed with emotion. He really didn't want to say anything. If Cao Cao hadn't attacked Xuzhou, Yanzhou would have had a really good harvest this year, and Cao Cao would have the capital for the Western Expedition. Unfortunately, now it's better. All the capital for Tengfei has been given to Lu Bu. Why don't Lu Bu use this? It's strange that Capital beat Cao Cao to the point of being dizzy. Chen Gongtai was really ruthless, and Xun Wenruo was really courageous.
"Originally Xun Wenruo's plan was to use the hands of Lu Fengxian and Chen Gongtai to expose all the internal conflicts in Yanzhou, and then whether he cleans it himself or borrow the help of Lu Bu, Yanzhou can become monolithic." Chen Xi sighed and said, "And Xun Wenruo is also sure that Cao Cao's army will be defeated in the battle with us at Mount Tai, and Cao Cao will also realize his mistake."
"You will also realize the gap, and then return to the army to fight Lu Bu, who has occupied most of Yanzhou. It can be said that Lu Bu will be defeated." Chen Xilue said with a tone of admiration.
"Cao Mengde, among other things, has a kind of courage. After realizing the gap in strength between him and us, he will definitely find ways to surrender to Lu Bu. Coupled with Chen Gongtai's personality, if Lu Bu wants to save his life, Cao Mengde will ignore the past grudges. , and if you admit your mistakes, you will most likely surrender and never rebel again." Jia Xu said with great emotion after taking the words.
"The purpose of abandoning Yanzhou is to purify the forces under my command, surrender Lu Bu and his party, and force Cao Cao to return to the army." Chen Xi had an inexplicable mockery on his face, "God is not as good as man, if we really surrender Lu Bu and his party, Xun Wenruo will definitely propose it When the soldiers enter Sili, the Xiliang cavalry will definitely be brought under Cao Cao's command, but for now, the flowers in the mirror are like the moon in the water."
"I'm afraid it's not that easy to fail." Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Although Cao Cao can't hold off Lu Bu in the plains, but he is forced to guard Chenliu and guard the pass. It will be difficult for Lu Bu to drive Cao Cao out of Yanzhou."
Chen Xi didn't answer. Historically, Cao Cao's initial battle with Lu Bu was just as Jia Xu had expected. Cao Cao was no match for him. Later, a locust plague occurred and Lu Bu's summer supplies were completely gone. This gave Cao Cao a chance to breathe, and then he came back and defeated him. Lu Bu.
"What I'm worried about now is that it would be bad if Xun Wen still has a way to take over Sili and annex the Xiliang cavalry." Chen Xi sighed and said. He knew how Cao Cao looked when his entire army was defeated, but he believed that this situation would not push Xun Wenruo to the point of being helpless. You have to know how many times in history Cao Cao was more dangerous than this.
"Let's take it one step at a time. Let's do our own thing first. Strengthening ourselves is always more important than weakening others." Jia Xu said calmly, "As long as we maintain our current strength and are not afraid of any of the other party's strategies, we will be able to It’s better if the general trend breaks, this is what you are best at.”
