Chapter 186 Unparalleled Lu Bu, should I kill or not?
Chapter 186: Peerless Lu Bu, should he be killed or not?
Lu Bu? To kill or not to kill?
Chen Gong? To kill or not to kill?
Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Zang Ba are all loyal and brave men, as well as eight strong generals... These are all ready to fight. How to recruit them?
These questions are coming one after another like poisonous thorns.
If any link is not handled well and everyone's hearts are cold, all these generals and Lu Bu's surrender will be in vain?
"this…"
Cao Cao turned around and slowly sat back on his seat. It seemed that compared with the problem of how to capture Xiapi City, what was before him now was a more difficult problem.
"Brother Yi, what do you think?"
Cao Cao simply asked Yi Xiaotian, he really couldn't make up his mind. Not to mention so much, just whether Lu Bu should be killed or not was a headache.
"Logically speaking, Lu Bu should be killed. Not to mention that there are some of his eight capable generals who are as powerful as him. Let's talk about his glorious deeds. As the adopted son of Ding Yuan, he killed Ding Yuan. As the adopted son of Dong Zhuo, he killed Dong Zhuo.
, can Cao Cao feel at ease if such a hidden danger is buried in the army?" Yi Xiaotian explained.
Cao Cao nodded heavily. He originally subconsciously wanted to recruit Lu Bu to surrender, but... what Yi Xiaotian mentioned was also his concern!
"only…"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Yi Xiaotian finished speaking, a turning point came out.
"In my opinion, Lu Bu cannot be killed! He must not be killed!"
Yi Xiaotian's tone was extremely solemn, and he explained non-stop.
"Brother Hiding, you have to know that although Lu Bu is unkind, he has some righteous men under him! Gao Shun and Zang Ba are his confidants and extremely loyal ministers. If Lu Bu dies, Gao Shun and Zang Ba will not do it no matter what.
Surrender... In this way, Cao Cao will lose the two waves of help from Gao Shun's trap camp and Zang Ba's Taishan army!"
Falling into the camp, Taishan Army...
Cao Cao thought for a while and said that he had heard of the famous names trapped in the camp many times.
Saying that you don't want to take it back is absolutely against your will. Besides, Gao Shun is a rare general and a handsome man. If you can recruit him, you will definitely be even more powerful!
As for Zang Ba's Taishan Army, Cao Cao knew something about it from intelligence, but he wasn't very impressed... It seems that the battle in Xuzhou didn't have too amazing a performance.
Did they let Brother Yi put so much emphasis and attention on it?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao raised a question. "Brother Yi, Cao Cao must be determined to win Gao Shun and the trapped camp, but is this Taishan Army... very strong? It seems that they don't have any outstanding records!"
"No..."
Now that the topic of Taishan Army was brought up, Yi Xiaotian simply put aside the question of whether Lu Bu should be killed or not, and patiently fed Brother Bao some necessary information.
Different from the interpretation, Zang Ba, the commander of the Taishan Army, was just a minor character. With the destruction of Lu Bu, he completely disappeared from the stage of history.
Zang Ba in real history performed a very colorful and colorful performance.
Speaking of Zang Ba, most people are unfamiliar with him, but for such a figure, his reputation in Mount Tai is unrivaled.
In later generations, people always used the four words "Yi Bo Yuntian" to praise Guan Yu. Guan Yunchang...
But in fact, it was Zang Ba, the commander of the Taishan Army, who was first called "Yi Bo Yuntian" by the world...
It can be said that with Zang Ba's appeal, as long as he surrenders, all the small groups of warlords on the front line of Mount Tai will be included in their pockets.
Yi Xiaotian slowly went through the details in his mind before continuing to remind.
"Brother Zang only knows that Zang Ba is the commander of the Taishan Army, but ignores their names. They are the Taishan Army. They are best at fighting in the mountains. On the plains, they are insects, but in the mountains, they are like dragons."
"Brother Hi, think about it, where is Taishan County in Xuzhou? It is the border with Jizhou and Qingzhou in Hebei Province...and there are many hills. If the Taishan Army can rely on their specialties to hold on to the danger, there will be no one in a short time.
Attack, and this characteristic is most suitable for defense."
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian glanced at the north through the window, looking towards Yuan Shao's territory.
What he said next was even more meaningful.
"Brother Hide, have you ever considered that now that Cao Cao has defeated almost all the princes in the Central Plains, and most of the land in the Central Plains is in his hands, who will be his next enemy?"
Yi Xiaotian first asked a question, and then he replied directly without waiting for Cao Cao to speak.
"It's Yuan Shao. It won't take much time for Yuan Shao to unify the north now. When he really takes Qing, You, Ji, and the four states into his hands, then he will definitely send his troops south to join forces with his former younger brother Cao Cao.
Decide between male and female!"
Speaking of which, Yi Xiaotian took out a small map from the table and cabinet on the side...
Then, he slowly pointed his hand on the map, pointing to the junction of Cao and Yuan.
"Guandu Port at the junction of Jizhou and Yanzhou must be the first battlefield between Cao and Yuan;"
"And the junction of Sili and Bingzhou will be the second battlefield for both sides."
After proposing these two battlefields, Yi Xiaotian pointed directly at Xuzhou...
The place where your fingertips pass is exactly the intersection of Xuzhou, Qingzhou and Jizhou.
At the same time, Yi Xiaotian's voice came out one after another. "At the junction of Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and Jizhou, this crucial third battlefield happens to be located in Taishan County!"
"Although Yuan Shao will not gather his main forces on this third battlefield, he will definitely continue to send small groups of troops to try to open up a new front from Xuzhou... If this front is really opened, then Cao Cao will face more than just the front.
The most deadly threat to the Guandu battlefield is this spearhead coming from behind!"
Yi Xiaotian deliberately avoided Lu Bu's punishment and the recruitment of Zang Ba and the Taishan Army, but instead explained in detail the three battlefields of the future battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
And this precisely affects the final decision of whether to punish Lu Bu and whether to recruit Lu Bu's old troops.
Study this history…
Yi Xiaotian analyzed every battle, especially the famous battles, in depth.
This is not just an analysis of the bravery of generals and the thoughts of counselors from a personal level.
It is even more important to study it comprehensively and explore the purpose of every step of both Cao and Yuan.
It seems that what is recorded in the history books is just a battle of Guandu in which a small number defeated a large number, which is enough to be recorded in the annals of history. However, there are turbulent undercurrents, small calculations, and even the intrigues on other battlefields that lead to life and death. It is no less than the frontal battlefield!
It's like a Landlord fight. Someone is overcoming you with a hand of cards. As long as you can't stop it, the rhythm will be completely lost...
At this moment, Cao Cao was listening extremely seriously.
He was even more concerned about the battlefield between Cao and Yuan than Lu Bu or the problems of Lu Bu's tribe.
This is his first time to examine the future Cao Yuan battlefield...
If Yi Xiaotian hadn't suggested it, he wouldn't have even imagined that there would be three intrigues and life-and-death battlefields in the future.
Guandu battlefield.
Sili battlefield.
Taishan County battlefield…
Cao Cao went over Yi Xiaotian's words carefully in his mind, exactly when he thought of the Taishan County battlefield.
He suddenly stood up and woke up.
"Brother Yi, I understand. What you mean by talking so much... is to tell me that if Zang Ba can be conquered and the Taishan Army can be incorporated, then Zang Ba and the Taishan Army can defend this place simply by relying on their specialties in mountain warfare.
The third battlefield!”
When these words came out, Cao Cao's heart was throbbing.
Brother Yi has great vision and good plans!
What he saw here was the flooding of Xiapi, but Brother Yi had already focused his attention on how to deal with Lu Bu and the future battlefield of Cao Yuan.
