Speaking of this, Cao Cao winked at Cao Ren beside him.
Cao Ren understood this and stood up immediately, excused himself to get some wine and left first.
Now, only Yi Xiaotian and Cao Cao are left in this unique elegant room.
"Brother Yi? Can you speak now?" Cao Cao asked anxiously...
"Brother Hide, I have three sentences here that you need to read carefully!" Yi Xiaotian slowly stood up, stood with his hands behind his hands, and then murmured three sentences in his mouth. "The first sentence, obey the emperor's orders and do not submit.
; The second sentence is to welcome the emperor and order the princes; the third sentence is to hold the emperor in front of the emperor and lead the dynasty. These three sentences are to hide your taste from brother, but you should taste it carefully. "
call out…
Cao Cao's brows suddenly froze, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was chewing these three sentences carefully!
Serve the Emperor, welcome the Emperor, hold the Emperor hostage!
The word "Feng", the word "Ying", and the word "Xiao" seem to completely explain Cao Cao's arrangements for the emperor in the past, present and future.
Cao Cao was a smart man, and he immediately understood the meaning of Yi Xiaotian's words.
Let's talk about the word "Feng" first... Serve the emperor with orders but not ministers, and cultivate crops to store military resources. This is the core strategic plan mentioned by Yi Xiaotian after Cao Cao became the shepherd of Yanzhou.
The goal is to gain an excellent reputation.
Even if the emperor was in trouble at that time and was not in the Central Plains, Cao Cao still needed to keep a low profile towards the emperor and the court, obey the emperor's edict to conquer those rebellious officials and traitors, and gain the recognition and support of the court step by step.
It was precisely because of this decree that Cao Cao was able to conquer the Yellow Turbans, enrich his army, issue an order seeking talents, obtain a number of useful civil servants and generals, and gain the support of the people under his rule...
It can be said that Yi Xiaotian's strategic plan of "obeying the emperor and not obeying his orders" laid a solid foundation for Cao Cao's rise.
And the second sentence, welcome the emperor to order the princes...
This is also the general policy and strategy proposed by Yi Xiaotian three years ago...
If you seize the emperor in your hands and use his orders, you can accomplish many great and difficult things.
For example, after Cao Cao ushered in the emperor, most of the counties and counties in Sili and Yuzhou surrendered. The scholars in the Jiaozhi area in the south also expressed their attachment and paid tribute to a lot of grain and grass. Even when he was conquering the false emperor Yuan Shu, as long as the emperor's flag was raised, that was
Help comes from all directions...
It can be said that it was this strategy of welcoming the emperor and ordering the princes that allowed Cao Cao to rise rapidly and even grow into a behemoth second only to Yuan Shao.
As for the third point mentioned by Brother Yi - using the emperor to rectify the dynasty, this kind of means inheriting the first two strategies.
And the most critical thing is precisely the word "抯"...
Hostage, hostage...Brother Yi, could it be that he wanted to remind Cao Cao.
Nowadays, the attitude towards the emperor does not need to be so respectful and humble. Instead, we should make our own attitude clear, let the court and the pro-Han officials clarify their position, and know who has the final say in Xudu City now, and it is even time to express their opinions to the court.
The original team took action...
"Brother Yi, I can understand the first two sentences you said, but this third one...holding the emperor's authority to rectify the dynasty? I hope Brother Yi can explain it in detail..."
Cao Cao took the initiative to ask questions, even though he had his own understanding.
However, he is more willing to listen to Brother Yi's interpretation. Ever since he met Yi Xiaotian, Brother Yi has never made any mistakes in the overall strategy.
"Brother Hide, there is a saying in my hometown - put on your socks first and then your shoes, be your younger brother first and then your father. Although this is a bit rough, it doesn't make sense..."
"Cao Cao? From his humble beginnings to now, he has welcomed the emperor and ordered the princes step by step. He has mastered sufficient territory and has brave generals under his command. He has raised the righteousness of the world to defeat the rebellious ministers of the Han Dynasty. The road has been full of thorns and narrow escapes!"
"And what about these courtiers of the Han court? How many of them stood up when the emperor was at his lowest? No... This is a bit biased. Those who really stood up would have been hacked by Dong Zhuo.
Got it!"
"What's going on? Are you going to take the blame on Cao Cao? Are you going to commit Cao Cao's death? In the end, they are just trying to use their fame and sophistry to control Chao Gang? How is that possible?"
At this point, Yi Xiaotian waved his hands, and his tone seemed to defend Cao Cao.
"So I said, Cao Cao has been soft for so many years, and now it's time to be hard. As the saying goes, be soft when it's time to be soft, and be hard when it's time to be hard! If I were Cao Cao, I would definitely be more confident, and I would definitely treat important people in the court.
The position is changed to my own. I will use this stall to teach all the Han court officials a good lesson and let them know who is the younger brother and who is the master!"
"Besides, if there was no Cao Cao in the world, I don't know how many people would be called emperors and how many would be called kings!"
Huo...How many people are called emperors, and how many people are called kings!
Brother Yi's words are domineering.
Cao Cao was extremely shocked and heartened by what he heard. Originally, he had concerns about breaking up with the pro-Han faction.
However, now that Brother Yi has said so, there is nothing to worry about.
But think about it, what Brother Yi said makes sense. Put on your socks first and then your shoes. Be a younger brother first and then become a father. You have been a younger brother for a long time, so it’s time to turn over!
Thinking of this, a sharp cold light suddenly appeared in Cao Cao's eyes!
"That's right, if there were no Cao Cao in the world, how many people would be called emperors and kings?"
