"Brother Yi? Are you saying that Tao Qian gave way to Xuzhou?" Cao Cao asked doubtfully...
"No... the three concessions to Xuzhou are just the result, and the process in between is Liu Bei's ambition, Liu Bei's ambition and accurate analysis of the situation."
Yi Xiaotian told the story behind Xuzhou in detail.
"Brother Hi, in the first year of Xingping, Cao Cao led his army to attack Xuzhou, and Tao Qian was defeated like a lost dog. You are familiar with this, right?"
Well…
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly. "No stranger..."
Not only are they strangers, this battle was planned by Yi Xiaotian, and Cao Cao attacked with his entire army... At this point, Cao Cao also had to thank Yi Xiaotian for saving his father, Cao Song, and his younger brother, Cao De.
Otherwise, the conquest of Xuzhou will not be so peaceful. It will be a massacre all the way. How can we securely occupy half of the land in the western border of Xuzhou?
Just when he thought of this, Yi Xiaotian spoke again.
"Brother Hide, you probably remember... that time when he was conquering Xuzhou, Tao Qian's army was routed by Cao Cao's troops like a lost dog..."
"This time Tao Qian, or the situation in Xuzhou City, is very similar to the last time Kong Rong and Beihai were besieged by the Yellow Turban Army, and Liu Bei also made the most accurate choice, leading thousands of people with him at the critical moment
Rush to rescue quickly... These two rushes to rescue have given Liu Bei a lot of reputation for benevolence and righteousness!"
At this point, Yi Xiaotian paused, and then he continued to tell the story. "For this reason, the famous Liu Bei entered Xuzhou. Tao Qian was naturally like a savior. He immediately declared Liu Bei as the governor of Yuzhou and took charge of it.
The Danyang troops under the command were handed over to Liu Bei, and he was sent to garrison Xiaopei to resist Cao Cao..."
"But in the face of Cao Cao who has absorbed hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops, how can Liu Bei withstand it? Soon the huge Xuzhou has been in crisis frequently. Under internal and external troubles, even Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian could only save the huge Xuzhou before he died...
Xuzhou is handed over to Liu Bei..."
"This is the first time in Liu Bei's life that he has become a de facto governor of a state. Logically speaking, he should be crying with joy. Over the years...he has resigned from countless petty officials, isn't it just for this day? Until today...he is considered a daughter-in-law.
Becoming a wife, a daughter becoming a mother, this is the reward he has received over the years for his keen vision, decisiveness in doing things, and charity to the world..."
"But Liu Beiqiang's strength lies in his vision, his insight is so good, he is so good at taking advantage of the situation, and taking advantage of this momentum to seek greater benefits... So, everyone thought he was overjoyed to take over Xuzhou
At that moment, he hesitated and refused. He calmly realized that the greater the responsibility, the greater the requirement for ability..."
"The previous ineffective campaigns in the north and south, and the fighting in the east and west made Liu Bei realize that if he wanted to hold Xuzhou, a battleground for military strategists surrounded by wolves, how could he do it with Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian's dying instructions? So he
On the surface, he made three concessions to Xuzhou, but secretly he began to contact the aristocratic families and powerful businessmen in Xuzhou in an attempt to gain their support."
"And it was precisely the support of Xuzhou's family members and powerful merchants, that is, the financial support of the Xiapi Chen family and the wealthy Xuzhou Mi family... that allowed Liu Bei to finally take over the seal of Xuzhou after giving up Xuzhou three times."
"In this way, Liu Bei rushes to help Xuzhou in the front and Xuzhou in the rear. His reputation spreads to all nine states, and he also takes Xuzhou as his own... I won't tell you, brother, you will taste it carefully. Will Liu Bei have a great harvest in the end? Here.
Is every step he takes strategizing? Is every step he draws from his past failed experiences and lessons? If it weren't for Lu Bu and Yuan Shu's interference, Liu Bei would be stationed in Xuzhou, and Xuzhou would be impregnable!"
At this point, Yi Xiaotian suddenly stood up. "Brother Hide, so let me tell you, Liu Bei's ambition, Liu Bei's personality charm, Liu Bei's unique way of expanding contacts, as well as his keen vision and decisive style of doing things, these... we
You don’t have to care about everything. But…”
As if he was reaching the key point, Yi Xiaotian spread his hands, then clenched his hands into fists, his expression becoming extremely serious.
"However, Liu Bei's ability to become braver and stronger the more he defeats is the most terrifying thing about him. Now he is defeated again and again because of his background and wisdom.
, these are not important... But if we really let him defeat a few more times, give him enough time to summarize the past experience and lessons, Liu Bei can only use four words to describe it - so terrifying!"
After finishing speaking, Yi Xiaotian felt that his mouth was a little dry...
But the wine from the winery hasn’t been delivered yet, which is a bit embarrassing!
On the other hand, Cao Cao fell into a state of shock that he could not describe for a long time...
Yes... He was shocked by Liu Bei's charm, Liu Bei's vision, and Liu Bei's decisiveness in dealing with things. He was also amazed by his ability to become braver and stronger with each defeat...
However, these, compared to Brother Yi's eloquent talk, he can analyze a person so cleanly and clearly in just a few inches. This kind of insight, this kind of vision, let alone Liu Bei, Cao Cao himself is always known for his vicious vision.
Even if all the counselors under his command were tied together, they would not be able to compare with Xun Yu and Xun Lingjun!
Liu Bei, Liu Bei, whether you are a weakling who cannot be killed, or a villain who understands the current situation and stands in troubled times in the name of benevolence and righteousness...after all, you can't escape Brother Yi's eyes.
call…
Cao Cao let out a long breath. He was really lucky. Fortunately, Yi Xiaotian was on his side. Otherwise, Brother Yi would have seen through whatever underwear Cao Cao was wearing today.
In Cao Cao's view, no matter how powerful the enemy in front of him is, it is not scary...
On the contrary, Brother Yi's ability to peel off the cocoons and see through people is even more - so terrifying!
"Brother Yi, you have said so much, but Liu Bei is still at the end of his life as a hero." Cao Cao suddenly thought of something, and he asked urgently. "If at this moment, Cao Cao helps from his own pocket and spends a lot of money to win over, tell me, do you have any
What's the opportunity to win Liu Bei into your camp?"
Well…
Yi Xiaotian was stunned at first.
Then, he laughed out loud...
It was like hearing the biggest joke in the world.
"Brother Hi, why have you become so stupid and naive?"
Yi Xiaotian patted Cao Cao's shoulder. "It's not obvious whether Liu Bei can submit to others. How can he submit to others? Let alone Cao Cao's subordinates?"
"Brother Yi? Why...why is this?" Although Cao Cao also felt that Liu Bei was not inferior to others...he still wanted to fight for it.
There is no one in this world who is willing to surrender to anyone from birth!
This thought just came to his mind...
Yi Xiaotian's next words poured cold water on him.
"Brother Hide... It seems like you have such illusions about Liu Bei." Yi Xiaotian smacked his lips. "If Cao Cao has the same idea as you, it will be dangerous..."
"This..." Cao Cao was stunned...
Don't wait for him to ask.
Yi Xiaotian explained directly. "Brother Hao, let me tell you a few short stories about Liu Bei..."
Hmm...a short story?
Cao Cao suddenly became interested. After talking about conquering the Yellow Turbans, whipping the postal governor, rescuing Kong Rong, making three concessions to Xuzhou, and loving Liu Bei, is there any other story?
"Brother Yi, please tell me..." Cao Cao stretched out his hand, his tone a little urgent.
"Well...it starts with Liu Bei being driven out of Xuzhou twice by Lu Bu..." Yi Xiaotian blinked. In fact, these few stories can best illustrate that Liu Bei is definitely not a creature in the pool.
