Seeing Yi Xiaotian's confident look, Cao Cao suddenly felt a sense of confidence in his heart.
Now that Brother Yi has taken the initiative to take over this matter, it seems that we can wait for the good news!
Thinking of what Brother Yi mentioned, Chen Si, Chen Deng and his son's hatred for Lu Bu and their previous undercover activities...
If he, Cao Cao, could really establish a connection with this father and son, then Lu Bu would be like a fly caught in a spider's web - internal and external troubles, with no way to escape!
When he thought of this, Cao Cao felt extremely sad.
However, he was in a sad mood, while Jia Xu lowered her head and seemed to be muttering.
Being thoughtful, he thought of some other troubles...
"Mr. Jia?" Yi Xiaotian also noticed Jia Xu's expression. "Do you think the arrangement of this junior is inappropriate? Or do you think Zhang Zhongjing is not capable of such an important task?"
"No... Shopkeeper Yi has unparalleled wisdom and unrivaled plans. The young man admires him. The miracle doctor Zhong Jing is even famous in the world. I didn't expect him to be in Youjian Villa. The old man only felt shocked and how could he dare to question it!"
Jia Xu waved his hand, "I thought of some other troubles, troubles hidden under the surface..."
Jia Xu's tone became serious...
"Shop Manager Yi, Mr. Bao, it is true... If Cao Cao can establish contact with Chen Si, Chen Deng and his son, then the source of Xuzhou's intelligence should be known, but it seems that there is still something missing in his plan to conquer Xuzhou..."
Jia Xu asked and answered himself. "Opportunity... yes, it is an opportunity! There is no opportunity to regain Xuzhou in one go."
Um... opportunity?
The people in this elegant room were all smart people, and Yi Xiaotian and Cao Cao immediately understood his intentions.
Jia Xu refers to the complex relationship between Lu Bu and Liu Bei, who fall in love, kill each other, help each other, and forget each other...
Speaking of which, the relationship between Lu Bu and Liu Bei is very complicated.
At that time, Liu Bei was the lord of Xuzhou. In order to guard against Yuan Shu's invasion, he placed Lu Bu in Xiaopei as a strategic buffer zone between him and Yuan Shu...
Unexpectedly, Lu Bu was unwilling to be left alone. He joined forces with Yuan Shu and took advantage of Liu Bei's expedition to seize Xuzhou...
Now, Lu Bu, the original conspirator, became the lord of Xuzhou, and Liu Bei, the original lord of Xuzhou, became the conspirator.
Thanks to Liu Bei being thick-skinned, he came back to apologize to Lu Bu and finally put an end to the past...
Lu Bu was forced by the situation, public opinion, and Cao Cao's pressure to return Xiaopei to Liu Bei. In turn, Liu Bei was used as a buffer zone between him and Cao Cao.
The relationship between them has become more and more subtle...
Xuzhou's intelligence always mentions that there are constant small frictions between the two sides, but there are no big frictions.
They are both competing for small profits, but they also have a clear mind. Perhaps they know that their opponent is Cao Cao, and they must work together to fight against the enemy at any time...
It is precisely because of this relationship that Cao Cao always maintains a wait-and-see attitude towards Xuzhou...
Now, taking advantage of Yuan Shao's northern expedition to Gongsun Zan, if he does not eliminate this serious enemy, when Yuan Shao pacifies the north, Cao Cao will be besieged on all sides!
The truth is this, but the difficulty lies in how to eliminate this serious problem?
This is not something that an eye liner, a spy, or some intelligence can do.
In the final analysis, we must pay attention to hard power and military strength.
But…
Whenever Cao Cao's army goes out to conquer Lu Bu...
Liu Bei will definitely join forces with Lu Bu again...
Lu Bu's courage, Chen Gong's plan, and his eight generals are even more brave and good at fighting, not to mention the help of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Liu Bei is extremely good at using public opinion and people's hearts...
Just thinking about this lineup gave Cao Cao and Jia Xu a headache, let alone a real battle between soldiers and generals.
To be honest, I really want to fight...
Not only all the counselors under Cao Cao, but also Cao Cao felt unsure.
Simply, Jia Xu threw this big problem out. Yi Xiaotian has such incredible insight. What ingenious and good methods can he come up with?
"Shop Manager Yi? Faced with Lu Bu's bravery, Liu Bei's alliance, Chen Gong's plan, and the fighting power of the Eighth Generals, do you have any good ideas?" Jia Xu's tone was gentle, but his eyes were extremely urgent.
"Well..."
Yi Xiaotian thought for a moment and searched for the memories of this time.
How did Lu Bu end up so cool in history...
Closing his eyes slightly, Yi Xiaotian went through all the ancient books and documents here.
Hey, don't tell me, those points mentioned by Jia Lao seem to be of great benefit to Lu Bu and can help him become invincible, but in fact, they are full of flaws.
"Brother Hide, do you also think Lu Bu is difficult to attack?" Yi Xiaotian first asked the question to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao frowned...
If it's "fishing in the washbasin" - it's a sure thing, there's no point in coming here to ask Brother Yi for advice.
"I have the same idea as Mr. Jia." Cao Cao replied helplessly. "Lü Bu is not easy to attack, and Xuzhou is even harder to plan!"
As if he felt that the tone was a little too serious, but don't reveal his identity, Cao Cao hurriedly added.
"If it were that easy, my business would have reached Xuzhou long ago. Alas, it makes me cry just to talk about it. There is such a rich cornucopia, but it seems like a toad wearing a big red robe - you can only look at it from a distance, not up close...
"
Uh...the words came out of my mouth.
Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, and then he thought to himself, Cao Sikong did a good job... Cao Sikong really worked hard to hide his identity.
…
"Brother Hide, Mr. Jia, then I'll ask you again!"
Yi Xiaotian continued to ask, "Just now Mr. Jia mentioned Lu Bu's four strong points. Among these four points, which one do you think is the most difficult to solve?"
Four strong points? The most difficult to solve?
Cao Cao recalled that Jia Xu mentioned Lu Bu's bravery, Liu Bei's alliance, Chen Gong's plan, and the combat power of the eight talented generals...
If I had to choose the most difficult one to solve, it would undoubtedly be...
"Liu Bei's alliance!"
Cao Cao and Jia Xu said in unison...
That's right, whether it's Lu Bu, Chen Gong or the Eight Great Generals, this is just Lu Bu's book strength. Although it is very strong, Cao Cao feels that his Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, his Qingzhou Soldiers, and his newly recruited Xiliang Iron Cavalry may not be able to compete with him.
rival.
The most critical thing is Liu Bei. Liu Bei, who lives deep in Xiaopei, is the most unstable factor.
Moreover, Cao Cao still remembers Guan Yu's bravery when he warmed wine and killed Hua Xiong, and the deeds of Liu, Guan, and Zhang Sanying in fighting Lu Bu. Liu Bei is an existence that cannot be underestimated.
After speaking in unison, Cao Cao and Jia Xu looked at each other.
Sure enough, I thought of it together.
Looking back at Yi Xiaotian at this time...
"Liu Bei's alliance!"
He clicked his lips, then muttered something.
"Well, it's troublesome to say it's troublesome, but it's simple to say it's simple. Today's Cao Cao is constrained by Lu Bu's alliance with Liu Bei? The reverse is also true. In the future, Lu Bu may be constrained by Cao Cao's alliance with Liu Bei? The current situation is unpredictable.
, yesterday’s enemies became today’s allies even if we couldn’t protect them all!”
There is something meaningful in the words...
This was Cao Cao and Jia Xu's first impression of Yi Xiaotian's words...
For a moment, their ears pricked up, because they knew that Yi Xiaotian had just started to get started, and the real insights were yet to come!
