Chapter 116: Friends, not enemies, the little overlord Sun Bofu
"Brother Yi..."
Cao Cao calmed down, put his hand on Yi Xiaotian's shoulder, was shocked, and immediately asked:
"I'm afraid that the news of Yuan Shu proclaiming himself emperor is about to spread. Then Cao Cao will definitely ask me about my countermeasures? Brother Yi, you have to tell me about this first!"
"Tell me?"
Yi Xiaotian waved his hand and said with a smile. "There's nothing to say. Yuan Shu is seeking death, and Cao Cao can just lead his troops to attack him. With the buy-one-get-one-free bonus, he can also take advantage of the opportunity to take the land of Huainan into his pocket!"
This is not a tiger catching a donkey - it's enough to rub it! What's there to say?"
Well…
Cao Cao's eyes were stunned, and he even felt like holding his breath. Yi Xiaotian's confidence gave him a sudden feeling of dizziness!
I'm sorry, Brother Yi really doesn't mind watching the excitement. He, Cao Cao, is almost gray-haired here.
As soon as he closes his eyes, a lot of problems in conquering Yuan Shu will come one after another, but Yi Xiaotian is completely fine, and Yuan Shu seems to be vulnerable to him.
"Brother Yi?" Cao Cao knocked on his forehead, wiped his sweat, and then spoke. "It seems that Cao Cao is conquering Yuan Shu? Isn't it that simple?"
Speaking of this, he paused, raised his hand and placed the wine bowl in front of Cao Ren in the middle, placed his own wine bowl on one corner of the table, and placed Yi Xiaotian's wine bowl on another corner of the table.
After everything was placed, Cao Cao spoke. "Brother Yi, look, the Shouchun City where Yuan Shu is located is like a bowl of wine in the middle. To the northwest is Xudu, to the northeast is Xuzhou, and to the south is Soochow...
"
Yi Xiaotian thought about it, and it seemed that there was still a wine bowl missing.
But it doesn't matter, Yi Xiaotian can understand the sand table set by Cao Cao.
At this time, Yi Xiaotian nodded, stretched out his hand, and motioned for Cao Cao to continue.
Cao Cao pushed the wine bowl on the corner of the table to the middle and said, "If Cao Cao raises troops to attack Shouchun, it will be like these two bowls of wine. It seems to be a direct confrontation with Yuan Shu, but in fact..."
Speaking of this, Cao Cao moved the wine bowl on the other corner of the table and slowly pushed it to the middle, and his voice rose at the same time.
"If Lu Bu from Xuzhou and Sun Ce from Soochow also rush to Shouchun to aid Yuan Shu, it will not just be the collision of two bowls of wine, but the collision of four bowls of wine. Cao Cao's troops will definitely be in a situation where they are attacked from both sides.
?”
At this point, Cao Cao glanced at Yi Xiaotian and saw that he was listening carefully, so he gently knocked on the table while continuing to preach.
"There are also other princes along the way, such as Liu Bei of Xuzhou? For example, the Chen State with a hundred thousand troops between Xudu and Shouchun? And for example, the warlords around Xuchang City who are ready to make a move? Their attitudes are also unknown!"
He was setting up the sand table again and explaining eloquently. Cao Cao even showed tiredness on his face. He was tired and his heart was tired...
It is true that now he has more territory, more soldiers, and greater power.
However, what comes with it is that he needs to think about it. There are more things to worry about. Going to war is not a trivial matter. This is what is meant by the so-called pulling a hair can affect the whole body.
In terms of military operations, today's Cao Cao does not dare to act rashly, for fear that if he makes a move, he will be overturned and unable to recover.
Yi Xiaotian listened very seriously.
But at the end, he yawned, obviously not feeling sleepy.
Because, in his opinion, these questions raised by Cao Cao were not problems in the first place.
What about Lu Bu, Sun Ce, Liu Bei... According to Yi Xiaotian's analysis, each of them is Cao Cao's new force, and they are Yuan Shu's big problem.
Yi Xiaotian looked at the sand table and pondered for a while, organized his words, and then explained with a smile. "Brother Hi, why is it that your business is getting bigger and bigger, but your courage is getting smaller and smaller?"
At this point, Yi Xiaotian called to the wine shop waiter to bring out a few more wine bowls...
Since it is a sand table, I might as well prepare more props so that I can explain it more clearly and understandably.
Cao Ren was more upright and thought that the wine bowl Yi Xiaotian had called was for drinking. He was about to pour the wine when he was stopped by Cao Cao.
At the same time, Yi Xiaotian had taken out the first wine bowl and pushed it straight to the middle.
"Let's first talk about Sun Bofu, the little overlord of Jiangdong who is most worried about Brother Hiding!"
Sun Bofu…
As soon as this name came out, Cao Cao was shocked. He said that he had a good relationship with the Sun family. It was the deep friendship he established with Sun Ce's father, Sun Jian, when he was fighting against the gold thieves.
In the past, when the eighteen princes attacked Dong, Cao Cao gave Sun Jian a special farewell. At that time, he saw Sun Jian's eldest son, Sun Ce, Sun Bofu, and his second son, Sun Quan and Sun Zhongmou.
At that time, Cao Cao was not particularly impressed by his eldest son Sun Ce and Sun Bofu.
On the contrary, he was deeply impressed by Sun Quan and felt that he was smart and alert at a young age, so he even sighed - having children should be like Sun Zhongmou!
Now, times have changed, and Cao Cao never expected that Sun Jian's eldest son, Sun Ce, whom he was not optimistic about, would lead the remaining tribesmen to pacify Jiangdong. The reputation of the "Little Overlord of Jiangdong" would not only be Jiangdong, but also the entire Jiangdong.
The big man was also very loud.
Brother Yi now wants to talk about this little overlord of Jiangdong. Cao Cao was immediately refreshed and very interested.
"Brother Yi, I would like to hear the details!"
"I think I've heard of Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong."
Yi Xiaotian took a sip of wine and moistened his throat before speaking loudly. "His father is the famous Sun Jian. Speaking of the Sun family, they are the descendants of Sun Wu, the sage of military science during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. They have been loyal and loyal for generations."
, Sun Jian participated in the Yellow Turban Uprising, the eighteen princes attacked Dong, and he took the lead in the invasion of Luoyang."
"Then the question is, is Sun Jian asking for the Yellow Turban, and is he leading the way to defeat Luoyang? Doing this? What is his purpose?"
At this point, Yi Xiaotian paused.
Immediately, Yiyi raised his hand and asked himself: "Actually, it's for the big man! It's to help the big man!"
call out…
Hearing the point of "helping the Han Dynasty", Cao Cao felt a little touched in his heart. Sun Jian knew it very well. Among the eighteen princes in Guandong, Sun Jian and Cao Cao were the only two people who really wanted to help the Han Dynasty.
On this point, Cao Cao and Sun Jian can resonate.
etc…
After Yi Xiaotian's reminder, Cao Cao suddenly came to his senses.
A loyal man who has been loyal for generations and takes it as his duty to help the great Han Dynasty? How can his son support Yuan Shu to proclaim himself emperor? Not to mention supporting Yuan Shu, I'm afraid it would be better not to send troops to conquer Yuan Shu.
The word "loyalty" is more than just spoken.
Even though Sun Ce is nominally attached to Yuan Shu now, Sun Ce will definitely make a wise choice in the face of major issues of right and wrong.
The Sun family, at least so far, will definitely inherit the legacy of their fathers and fight the usurpers to the end. Sun Ce, as the eldest son of Sun Jian, should be aware of this.
What's more, to secure Jiangdong, the Sun family also needs a banner to support Han Dynasty and an excellent reputation.
call…
Got it, totally got it.
Cao Cao's eyes rolled. So, the little overlord Sun Ce, whom he was worried about, was not only not an enemy, but an ally!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao's eyes slowly opened, and his mind finally calmed down.
He looked at Yi Xiaotian silently, as if waiting for the next analysis from Brother Yi.
Cao Cao believes that Yi Xiaotian's analysis must be a piece of good news!
