Chapter 213: Sun Ce keeps cheating and Liu Bei keeps getting beaten
The early forbearance...
In the mid-term, decisive action is taken after finding opportunities, supplemented by strict military discipline and talented people.
Sun Ce's career seems to be on the right track.
However, according to Cao Cao's keen sense of smell, he felt that this was not enough, far from enough. It seemed... it was a little less interesting, no... not one point, but two points.
Yes, Cao Cao knew very well how he rose to power. In addition to strict military discipline and unified civil and military affairs, it was even more essential to go down to the grassroots and respect the emperor.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao simply asked.
"Brother Yi? Sun Ce has done a good job in reaching out to the grassroots, appeasing the people and respecting the emperor, right?"
As soon as Cao Cao blurted out these words, Yi Xiaotian looked at him in surprise.
Not bad, Brother Hi has made great progress, and he is now aware of Sun Ce’s two remaining keys to success.
"Brother Hi, you are right." Yi Xiaotian nodded, and then explained in detail. "In addition to being ready to go, having strict military discipline, and being assisted by talented people, Sun Ce's other wise decision is to appease the people..."
Yi Xiaotian paused slowly, organized some words, and then continued to speak. "As we said before, Sun Ce went south to Jiangdong and fought as far as Qu'a. The local people were so scared that they were trembling, fearing that they would be implicated in the military disaster, and Sun Ce
Then he ordered the officers and soldiers of the three armies not to plunder, and those who disobeyed the order were killed... Rumor has it that it was for this reason that wherever Sun Ce's army passed by, 'chickens, dogs, vegetables, and nothing was offended'."
"Brother Hi, as a merchant, I, for the most part, can't understand Sun Ce's decision-making without making any mistakes. This is an era of war and war. It's already quite difficult for the army to obey orders, and it's even more difficult to supply food.
It's difficult, but Cao Cao was able to do no harm to the people on this basis. If he really wants to do this, wouldn't it mean that the people have surrendered to him?"
Hmm...Cao Cao thought for a moment.
Qiu made no mistake, even when he went on an expedition, he would give the same order.
But things often go against expectations. After all, the food is in the fields and you can grab a handful with your hands. Even if the commander has an order, how can the soldiers have such strong binding force?
Therefore, Cao Cao was shocked when he heard the popular saying from Yi Xiaotian that wherever Sun Ce's army passed by, "nothing was committed except chickens, dogs and vegetables"... Cao Cao was shocked.
Huh...he exhaled a long breath.
As the saying goes, when three people are walking together, they must have a teacher. He must learn from Sun Ce carefully in terms of never doing anything wrong to the common people.
Cao Cao sighed with emotion as Yi Xiaotian continued to speak.
"For this reason, the people in Jiangdong were so grateful for Sun Ce's kindness that they rushed to bring beef and drinks to express their condolences... The Sun family's reputation in Jiangdong suddenly became popular among people!"
After talking about this topic, Yi Xiaotian exhaled and seemed a little tired.
However, he did not rest for a moment, but directly threw out Sun Ce's last key to success. This key may not make Sun Ce rich, but once lost, he will definitely lose everything!
"Brother Hi, what I'm going to talk about next is Sun Ce's last key." Yi Xiaotian's tone became a little more serious. "Like Cao Cao, this key is the emperor!"
Huo...Emperor?
Hearing these two words, Cao Cao was stunned. He greeted the emperor and ordered the princes. Isn't this exactly the strategy that Brother Yi deployed for him?
Sun Ce is so tall that the Emperor is far away? Where can he go to get in touch with the Emperor?
For a while, Cao Cao was quite curious.
"Brother Yi, Sun Ce and the Emperor are in the Central Plains and the other is in the south. It seems that they have nothing to do with each other?"
"No..." Yi Xiaotian waved his hand directly. "Not many princes have the opportunity to welcome the emperor like Cao Cao, but as long as they are successful, they will not make any mistakes when it comes to the emperor."
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian directly named a negative teaching material.
"For example, Yuan Shu..."
Once again, the topic turned to the pseudo-emperor Yuan Shu. It seemed that this out-and-out loser could always provide people with unlimited reverie and inspiration.
Yi Xiaotian pointed to Shouchun City on the map and said loudly.
"Even though Sun Ce had quietly risen to power at this time, Yuan Shu still regarded Sun Ce as his younger brother. You Zi was indulging in his dream of opening up territories and sweeping the southeast. Then, he set his sights on the emperor."
"He lied about the so-called prophecy and summoned his staff to discuss the title. The foundation of the lower level was unstable and the middle level was insufficient. Yuan Shu relied on possessing the jade seal passed down from the country... He coveted the sacred and forced his performance. The civil and military officials under his command looked at each other. No one dared to stand in front of the traitor who has been notorious for thousands of years and simply remained silent.
Be silent."
"And it was at this time that Sun Ce stood up and cursed Yuan Shu, 'We have been the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty for five generations. I am so honored and favored that nothing can compare with it.' You, Yuan Shu, should be the most loyal and loyal to the royal family, but you can't.
You are so confused by prophecies and absurd articles, and you still want to rely on such things to become emperor, I, Sun Ce, will not agree to it for the first time!"
"So, when the emperor ordered the disobedient Cao Cao to conquer Yuan Shu in the south, Sun Ce was the first to send troops to help, provide troops, food, and lead the way. This gave the emperor of Han enough face... and also made the world see him clearly.
The determination to respect the emperor is the best way to capture the hearts of scholars, celebrities and common people all over the world at the lowest cost."
At this point, Yi Xiaotian suddenly turned around and waved his hand.
"Brother Hide, you taste it, you taste it carefully!"
Yi Xiaotian's eyes narrowed, and his tone became more meticulous. "Now you should know why Liu Bei next door has been getting beaten, and Sun Ce over here has been cheating, right?"
Ah... open... cheat?
Cao Cao couldn't understand the meaning of "cheating" in Yi Xiaotian's mouth for a while, but after analyzing the previous and following sentences, it was probably a complimentary word.
However, after Yi Xiaotian's detailed analysis, Cao Cao finally understood...
Yuan Shu and Yuan Benchu, who were on the Huainan separatist side, deserved to die.
Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng, who deserved to be sitting in the land of Jingxiang, sharpened their swords, but they couldn't make a move.
Sun Ce... ah no, not only Sun Ce, but also Sun Quan, his efficient team of counselors, and the loyal and brave warriors left behind by his late father. They have already set their sights on Jiangdong step by step.
.
In a few years, Sun Ce has really stabilized the overall situation of Jiangdong step by step, working at the grassroots level, controlling the civil and military affairs, and going up to the imperial court...
call out…
Cao Cao exhaled, and You Zi was filled with emotion.
Now...I understand what I need to understand, and I understand what needs to be clear...
So, here comes a new question, how strong is Sun Ce now? Will he go north along the Yangtze River to attack Xuzhou, open a gap in the Central Plains, and then welcome the emperor and compete in the Central Plains!
besides.
Cao Cao is now in the midst of the Fourth War, and the threat from Yuan Shao in the north is becoming increasingly serious. It seems impossible for him to put more protection in Xuzhou and put it in a position to protect Sun Ce.
In this situation?
Who will defend Xuzhou? Who can defend Xuzhou? Who can compete with this little overlord who is famous in Jiangdong!
Each of these questions seems to be an understatement, but in fact they affect the whole body.
If it cannot be completed before the complete break with Yuan Shao, then...chasing the tiger through the front door and fighting the wolf through the back door...Cao Cao, who is in the place of the Four Battles of the Central Plains, will be in danger.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao's back broke out in cold sweat.
He was even a little scared and panicked...
Gudong... With a sound, he swallowed, tried hard to calm down the throbbing and panic in his heart, and asked directly.
"Brother Yi? In your opinion, how strong is Sun Ce now?"
"Can Huang Zu of Jiangxia stop his march north?"
"If Cao Cao and Yuan Shao go to war and fight on two fronts, who in Xuzhou behind them can withstand Sun Ce's attack?"
When asking this series of questions.
Cao Cao was trembling all over...
He wanted to get some positive answers from Brother Yi, but he actually already knew some answers in his heart. This was an extremely unfavorable answer.
Being in the land of the Fourth War, Cao Cao's current situation is not optimistic!
