Chapter 235: The toad wears a red robe and can only be seen from a distance, not up close.
"Brother Yi..." Cao Cao had something on his mind and had concerns, so he asked directly. "Even if Kong Rong is young, it may not be better when he is older, but there are still some unique insights and truths in his sophistry!"
At this point, Cao Cao paused and continued to speak.
"For example, Kong Rong mentioned that some of the main civil and military officials under Yuan Shao... those who made suggestions were Tian Feng, Xu You, and Ju Sue, those who were responsible for the general affairs were Shen Pei, those who were disciplined, and those who fought on the battlefield were Yan Liang and Wen Chou. These guys were all...
It’s because of its reputation that it’s not easy to deal with in my opinion!”
Hmm...who is Yuan Shao's team?
Hearing this, Yi Xiaotian rolled his eyes, and immediately he laughed out loud...
Although at first glance, Yuan Shao's team looks like a wild beast, and each one of them is a talented person in his own right, but in fact, they all have more or less character flaws, and if they are forcibly tied together, it is simply a toad.
Wearing a big red robe - you can only see it from a distance, not up close!
"Brother Yi, why are you laughing?" Seeing Yi Xiaotian laughing sadly, Cao Cao was confused and asked hurriedly.
"Brother Xiaohao has a lot of ideas now, but his courage has become too small." Yi Xiaotian raised his hand. "These people and soldiers mentioned by Kong Rong have more or less problems!
It just depends on whether Cao Cao can magnify these problems enough to affect the situation of the war..."
Hmm...a big problem? Amplified to the point of affecting the battle situation?
Cao Cao suddenly became interested. "Brother Yi, please give me some advice."
"Although Yuan Shao's troops were many but not in order, Tian Feng was brave and committed crimes, Xu You was greedy and did not rule, the judges were expert but unintelligent, and he used the results according to the rules and regulations. There was also Jushou. As a representative of Jizhou's talented people, he had always been with another faction.
The Runan Suiying family is at odds with each other, and Guo Tu, the contemporary representative of the Runan Suiying family, must have little shoes for him..."
Yi Xiaotian talked eloquently, and did not forget to make fun of him at the end. "These counselors are like the facial features of certain people. They look good when taken alone, but when they are put together, they look hideous and ferocious..."
Well…
Certain people’s facial features?
Cao Cao suddenly felt that Brother Yi seemed to be referring to himself, or in other words, to Cao Cao, right?
After all...he, Cao Cao, is really ugly, which makes him a bit sorry for the audience.
However... looking at Xi Zuo, although Yi Xiaotian's analysis is absolute, it seems to be consistent with the information sent back by Xi Zuo.
Guo Tu and Ju Shou were at odds with each other, Xu You was greedy for money and profit, he had strict rules but no emotional intelligence, and his relationship with many officials was very tense. Yan Liang and Wen Chou had no other expertise except martial arts...
Although it is not as unbearable as Yi Xiaotian expressed, it seems that with a little trick, it is really possible for their weaknesses to be infinitely magnified, or even big enough to reverse the situation.
But it seems... they belong to the same camp after all, so they shouldn't be so at odds, right?
"Haha...Brother Yi, although your words are a bit extreme, I like to hear them." Cao Cao said while laughing.
Yi Xiaotian waved his hand.
"It's not extreme at all. Although the civil and military personnel under Yuan Shao's command are all pretty smart and have high IQs, they are all narrow-minded. No one can tolerate the other. They only need to get along with each other for a few days.
, they will inevitably fight with each other, and over time, civil strife will form!"
"On Cao Cao's side, even though there are surrender factions like Kong Rong, Cao Cao must understand that he did not rely on people like Kong Rong to defeat Yuan Shao. He relied on Qiao Pei warriors and Yingchuan counselors.
The banner of the emperor is the in-depth grassroots management of reclaiming wasteland, and the bravery and well-equipped soldiers!"
"If Cao Cao was hiding something from his brother because Kong Rong was racking his brains and looking forward and backward, how could he have fought the Battle of Guandu? I think if Cao Cao was wise, he would have completely wiped out the capitulation faction and the peace negotiation faction, and directly killed Kong Rong
…On the one hand, it shows determination, and on the other hand, it also leaves the entire court with only one voice!”
Behead? Behead Kong Rong?
Cao Cao has always been worried about his reputation, and Kong Rong is a famous person in the world? If he beheads him, I'm afraid...
"Brother Yi? After all, Kong Rong is a famous person in the world. Even if Kong Rong is at fault, killing Kong Rong will probably bring a bad reputation to Cao Cao, right?" Cao Cao asked back.
"Brother Hiding, that's wrong." Yi Xiaotian smiled slightly, narrowed his eyes, and the edge in his eyes suddenly appeared. "There is a saying that Brother Hiding has probably never heard of - you have to save face and suffer the consequences!"
Yi Xiaotian said something and immediately paused, as if he wanted Brother Hao to try to understand.
After a while, Yi Xiaotian continued to explain.
"Brother Hi, you have to know... What is the most important thing for Cao Cao now? Is it to win the favor of the famous people in the world? No, Cao Cao's top priority is the decisive battle with Yuan Shao. If he loses this battle, he will be loved by all the people.
, admiration for celebrities is in vain! And weighing the pros and cons, everything Cao Cao does now must be closely centered on this..."
"Exactly... Kong Rong's bold talk of surrender and peace is obviously a provocation to Cao Cao, a provocation to the emperor, and a provocation to the national policy of killing traitors. Cao Cao endured it again and again, and he continued to endure it.
, he can capture the favor of a group of famous people at most, but in fact, what he leaves behind is the military discipline and strict legal discipline that Yuan Shao relies on to fight for hegemony..."
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian clicked his tongue and his tone became more and more meticulous.
"Brother, Cao Cao has few soldiers, and morale is very important. The head of Kong Rong, the surrender faction, is more like an oath to break the cauldron, and more like the driving force that condenses the entire Central Plains into a rope. As the saying goes, "If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent." This kind of emotion is the most
It can inspire the soldiers of the three armies who fight bravely on the front line."
Yi Xiaotian talks eloquently...
Speaking of which, his theory is not groundless.
Historically, during the Battle of Guandu, Kong Rong repeatedly spread talk of peace and surrender. Cao Cao couldn't bear it and killed Kong Rong.
From that moment on, there was only one voice left in the court, and there was no noise in the ears of Cao Jun's soldiers. For a time, the cauldron was shattered, and the morale was like a rainbow...
Yi Xiaotian was thinking...
Since killing Kong Rong was inevitable, and the effect was so good, he simply proposed it in advance and used his brother's mouth to let Cao Cao directly take Kong Rong's blood to commemorate Wei Wu's hegemony and move towards the majestic banner!
…
Got it, totally got it.
Cao Cao was a smart man, and after Yi Xiaotian's explanation, he understood everything at once.
Before, he was too worried about his reputation, so he repeatedly indulged Kong Rong and allowed him to do whatever he wanted. This led to the increasingly expanded and arrogant capitulation faction and the peace negotiation faction...
If he had cut the knot with a sharp sword, how could there be any other voices in the court? How could the soldiers of the three armies be disturbed by trivial matters! Cao Cao would not worry about the morale of the military, the people, and the court.
In the final analysis, Cao Cao was too worried.
Now...the war is imminent. This is not the time to look forward and backward. The favor of celebrities is of course very important, but Kong Rong, who has repeatedly challenged his authority, deserves to be killed. He must be killed!
For just an instant, a sharp edge flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, and even Yi Xiaotian felt an inexplicable chill.
Cao Cao, who had completely figured it out, became the decisive prince again.
In the overall situation, he doesn't mind killing a mere Kong Rong!
It's time, big is not necessarily better, haha... Let's use the heads of the capitulation faction and the peace negotiation faction to promote this desperate battle with no retreat!
