Chapter 261: Thousands of words are all in the wine
When you meet a close friend, a thousand cups are too little.
Near Guandu Port, facing the rolling Yellow River, listening to the roar of the river, wouldn't it be fun to set up a table, prepare some side dishes, and drink to your heart's content?
Today, Cao Cao and Yi Xiaotian are having a drink by the river...
This is a pavilion that Cao Cao specially sent to repair before... He thought that one day he and Brother Yi would definitely be in this pavilion, drinking and discussing the current situation...
I never thought it would come so quickly.
"Brother Hun, try this big carp from the Yellow River. It tastes good...but it's been a long time since you tasted it. Even if it was stored in the ice room, I'm afraid it's not fresh anymore."
Yi Xiaotian gently stretched out his hand and motioned for Cao Cao to taste the delicious food, seeming to complain a little about Cao Cao's wasteful use of natural resources.
"Don't be afraid of being late for a good meal!" Cao Cao replied with a smile. He tasted the big carp from the Yellow River and smacked his lips. "It's delicious! It tastes very delicious!"
It's so delicious, it's because he's in a good mood...
The victory in the first battle greatly improved the morale of his own side. At the same time, the morale of Yuan Jun dropped to a low point. In this mood, whatever he ate would taste delicious.
"Brother Hide, looking at you like this, isn't it a small victory in the battle with White Horse? Is it a big victory?"
Seeing Cao Cao's expression, Yi Xiaotian smiled and asked...
"Antied Yuan's army of 20,000 men, Guan Yu beheaded the leader of the thieves Yan Liang in one round..." Cao Cao said loudly. "Brother Yi, tell me, does this impressive achievement count as a great victory?"
Hahaha…
At this point, Cao Cao burst out laughing, and Yi Xiaotian also laughed.
Good thing, good thing...
Winning the first battle still plays a vital role in the situation, not to mention beheading the thieves...
Yuan Shao must be very depressed.
In this battle, if Yan Liang's death was not so cowardly, even if he fought to the end in the decisive battle and fought to the last drop of blood, Yan Liang's death was still valuable, and even if it could not be saved, it could boost the morale of the three armies.
Now it's better. Not only did it not boost morale, but it severely dampened it. It's simply a tragedy.
Sigh... Yi Xiaotian sighed slightly, feeling like... "I feel sorry for Yuan Shao for three seconds."
"Brother Hide, this is a victory in the first battle, you can't be careless!"
Being prepared for danger in times of peace, Yi Xiaotian reminded him directly. "Yuan Shao's energy is as big as his little finger. If he suffers such a big loss, he will definitely do something crazy. Hiding brother, you can't relax!"
Cao Cao nodded, he knew everything Brother Yi said...
Aren't you thinking about drinking with Brother Yi? Otherwise, Cao Cao would be reluctant to leave the military camp.
Now that it's mentioned here.
Cao Cao simply asked. "Brother Yi, I heard... In addition to you predicting this battle, there is also someone in Yuan Shao's camp who predicted it extremely accurately..."
"Are you talking about Yuan Shao's chief military advisor Jushou?" Yi Xiaotian said his name directly.
“You can’t hide anything from Brother Yi!”
Cao Cao nodded... "Speaking of which, in the entire Yuan Shao camp, the one that worries me the most right now is Jushou. His strategy is not simple. If Yuan Shao entrusts him with important tasks... then..."
Cao Cao looked worried.
"Ha ha…"
Unexpectedly, Yi Xiaotian laughed out loud. "Brother Hide, have you forgotten what I mentioned several times before, Yuan Shao's two completely different camps of counselors, two camps that are incompatible with each other!"
"Runan's shadow family? And... Jizhou's talented people?" Cao Cao thought for a moment and then blurted out...
"That's right." Yi Xiaotian nodded. "In terms of ability, Jizhou's talents are better, but where can the Runan Suiying family lick... Yuan Shao likes this kind of licking dog, licking, and he has to lick it.
His career was reduced to nothing! Jushou, the representative of Jizhou’s talented people, must be very depressed about this..."
Uh...this...
Cao Cao was stunned at first, and then smiled slightly, but he still had some worries in his heart.
"Brother Yi, I have considered what you said. It is true that Yuan Shao did not entrust Ju Sui with important responsibilities before, but he still gave Ju Sui military power... What's more, after Yan Liang's defeat, Yuan Shao should realize the importance of Ju Sui. If he starts
If Jushu is reused, the battle of Guandu will be completely unexpected!"
Cao Cao told all his concerns...
There are two points in total, the military power in Ju Shou's hands, and Yuan Shao's sudden awakening!
Who knew...
These two points that Cao Cao was thinking about were not problems at all in Yi Xiaotian's view.
"Brother Hide, if Yuan Shao can wake up because of the failure of a battle...then he is not Yuan Benchu!"
Yi Xiaotian said with a smile... "Yuan Shao is an arrogant person on the outside but extremely fragile on the inside. After a failure, the first thing he has to do is find someone to take the blame instead of self-reflection and summary. This is why he is completely different from Cao Cao.
A little bit.”
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian patted Cao Cao on the shoulder and continued to comfort him.
"Brother Hide, don't think of Yuan Shao like Cao Cao. They are two completely different types of people!"
"Yuan Shao was a concubine when he was a child, and was looked down upon by others... He was even succeeded by his father to his uncle, and even suffered the cold eyes of his legitimate son Yuan Shu. Such a growing environment meant that he would not trust anyone around him, he only believed
He himself only believes in the licking dogs around him, he lacks love!"
Uh... Yuan Shao lacks love?
Cao Cao was startled...
This is not important. What is important is that what Brother Yi said makes some sense. He should not judge Yuan Shao with his own thinking. Thinking of the growth trajectory of this big brother, his mother has no status and the head of the house is a princess...he
A thorn in my side, a thorn in my flesh, I often get cold looks both overtly and covertly!
His character of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside and distrusting everyone has been formed since he was a child and is deeply ingrained!
To put it this way, compared to all the licking dogs around him, he really doesn't trust Jushou.
The more he thought about it, the more relieved Cao Cao felt...
However, Yi Xiaotian's words continued. "Brother Zhi, if you are really worried, I have a plan! It's about Jushou's weakness!"
"Um...a plan?" Cao Cao listened attentively.
"Brother, you can ask from Xizuo, Hebei. When Yuan Shao went south, Jushou called all his relatives and friends and distributed his property to them!"
Yi Xiaotian asked, "Guess, brother, why did Jushou do this?"
This... Cao Cao's face was full of doubts. How could he know what Ju Shou was thinking?
Before he could think about it carefully, Yi Xiaotian's words came one after another.
"This is because Jushou is too perceptive. He keenly understood the difference between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. He also judged that this expedition will definitely endanger his life. What's the use of keeping these properties if the people are gone!"
At this point, Yi Xiaotian explained further.
"His younger brother Juzong also questioned him, saying that Yuan Shao's military strength was much stronger than Cao Cao, why should he be so pessimistic? Jushou refuted them, saying that they only saw the surface but not the reality."
"Compared to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao has an advantage. With the emperor in Cao Cao's hands, morally speaking, Cao Cao has the initiative. Yuan Shao has been fighting Gongsun Zan endlessly over the years, and his soldiers are exhausted... On the other hand, Cao Cao's army has elites! No one has considered it.
With these two points, this battle is impossible to win!"
Yi Xiaotian will remember Ju Shou's parting behavior and words in "Three Kingdoms"...
It was pointed out directly.
"So, Jushuo's biggest weakness is that he is too transparent... He has seen through all this, and even scattered all his wealth and made such unfavorable remarks. If the Yuan army on the front line wins, it will be fine, but if Yuan Shao is hindered, then
...This rumor has spread, haha... Brother Bao, guess what Yuan Shao will do with Ju Sue? Can he keep the military power in his hands?"
Phew...this...
Cao Cao's tiger body was shaken, and his whole spirit was also lifted.
If what Brother Yi said is true, then Ju Shou, who is quite afraid of him, will most likely be destroyed by a rumor. Brother Yi's plan of "killing the enemy invisible" is so wonderful!
Cao Cao made a note of this in his mind, and planned to send someone to investigate when he returned. If it was true, a series of rumors would follow. By then, Ju Shou would be in trouble, and so would Yuan Shao!
With this in mind, Cao Cao picked up the wine bowl.
"Brother Yi, come on, do it!"
Thousands of words are lost in wine...
Yi Xiaotian slowly raised the wine bowl. The waves of the river were surging, lapping at both sides of the bank. Drinking in this situation had a different taste!
But at this moment.
The sound of horse hoofbeats interrupted the tranquility, and also interrupted the mood of Cao Cao and Yi Xiaotian.
But I saw a tiger soldier shouting, "Master, it's bad, Yuan Shao's soldiers are coming in two directions to attack Baima and Yanjin!"
Wow…
As soon as this statement came out, Cao Cao was shocked!
The wine bowl in my hand couldn't help but fall...
The wine bowl broke into pieces and made a "clicking" sound, and Cao Cao's cheeks suddenly turned as white as paper!
He thought that Yuan Shao would take action, but he did not expect that Yuan Shao would take action so fast and so crazy.
