"Brother Yi, don't rush to the bonfire first." Cao Cao grabbed Yi Xiaotian. "The so-called helping people to the end is to send the Buddha to the west... Since we helped Cao Cao find Yuan Shao's location, we simply... let's help again
Give him a handful."
Um...help him again?
A big question mark appeared between Yi Xiaotian's brows. "Hide it, brother? What are you helping me with? It seems that apart from Yuan Shao going south, Cao Cao doesn't have any problems, right?"
"No..." Cao Cao waved his hand. What he was hiding in his heart now was the biggest problem. "If Yuan Shao goes south this time, he will go south next time... Even if Cao Cao blocks it this time, then next time, next time, next time.
What about next time?”
Speaking of this, Cao Cao frowned.
"Brother Yi, you are right. Qing, Ji, You, and the four states have too many people. Yuan Shao can easily recruit tens of thousands of troops. If he uses this as a basis to continue to invade Cao Cao southward, then what else can he do?
If Cao Cao is exhausted from running for his life, it will make us brothers die of boredom!"
"Alas..." Cao Cao let out a long sigh, and his whole body became sighing. "The process of the Northern Expedition cannot become a process of exhaustion. Brother Yi, you have the most ideas. Is there any way that Cao Cao can use?
Minimal consumption in exchange for the territory of the north!"
Cao Cao's voice became more urgent than the last, and sadder than the last.
At this moment, his whole body wanted to stick to Yi Xiaotian's body. He was too eager for this answer...
"Well..."
Yi Xiaotian hesitated slightly.
Speaking of which, this question is difficult to answer...According to records in ancient books, it seems not easy to obtain the greatest victory with the smallest cost, and there are even many conditions that need to be met at the same time.
for example…
Thinking of this, Yi Xiaotian spoke directly. "Brother Hide, you have to know... It may not be difficult to defeat Yuan Shao, but if it is to be done at a very small cost, then... at least two key points must be achieved!"
Hmm...two key points.
When Brother Yi said this, it meant there was something going on.
Cao Cao's body was shaken and his spirit was lifted. "Brother Yi, what are the two key points?"
"First...Yuan Shao must die!"
In one sentence, Yi Xiaotian explained in detail.
"In the final analysis, the Yuan clan, including Yuan Shao, has been in existence for five generations. It is intertwined with all the major clans, especially the major clans in the north. The disciples and former officials of the Yuan clan are all over the world. As long as Yuan Shao does not die, he will be
In the north, countless clans, countless disciples and former officials of the Yuan family will always be attached to him."
"...As long as he has the support of these clans and disciples, his troops and horses will be inexhaustible and endless... Even if Cao Cao now has the upper hand in terms of situation and military strength, he will really have to exhaust Yuan Shao.
Facing the behemoth of the Yuan clan, Cao Cao is really no match."
Yi Xiaotian explained in detail...
This is analyzed from the clan level.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, to put it bluntly, the world was a world where aristocratic families monopolized official careers. As long as they had the support of aristocratic families, even if the princes were defeated, they would still have a chance to make a comeback.
For example... Liu Bei was defeated by Lu Bu in Xuzhou, but he quickly made a comeback because of the support of the Mi clan.
For example... Sun Ce once had a firm foothold in Soochow, even though his father's head was missing, because of the support of the four major families in Wu County and the four major families in Kuaiji!
For another example...Cao Cao, without the Xun clan of Yingchuan, the Yanzhou clan, the strong support of the Cao clan, and the Xiahou clan, he would have been just a prefect of Dongjun and a watchdog helping Yuan Shao guard the south gate. He would never have succeeded.
To the point where today it competes with it to dominate the world.
Still analyzing like this...
As long as Yuan Shao is still alive, the bond between the family and the Yuan clan will not be broken, and Yuan Shao's march south will not stop... Therefore, the first and most urgent task is to kill Yuan Shao and completely cut off the Yuan clan and other major clans.
contact.
hiss…
Cao Cao raised his hand and tapped his forehead. It is easy to defeat Yuan Shao, but it may not be easy to kill Yuan Shao!
Anyway... Yuan Shao is also the commander-in-chief of an army.
That's the only advantage of being a commander. It doesn't matter whether you win the battle or not. At the very least, you can run away when the momentum is not good... Even Yuan Shao, who has a personality that is slower than a snail, can run away faster than a rabbit?
Can you catch up...can you catch up?
When he thought of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but have a sad look on his face.
"Brother Yi, it's easy for you to say this... But how can Yuan Shao be killed so easily? Capturing him is probably no less difficult than capturing Liu Bei..."
Cao Cao's face was full of sadness.
On the contrary, Yi Xiaotian is always smiling... not only smiling, but also smiling brightly.
Ha ha ha ha…
"Brother Hide, who said you have to capture Yuan Shao in order to kill him?" Yi Xiaotian gently patted Cao Cao's shoulder. "We can also use our brains to find another way..."
Yi Xiaotian also deliberately let it go.
This is really worrying Cao Cao... What method? Is it an assassination? An assassination?
But these... immorality is secondary, the main thing is... Yuan Shao, who has always been suspicious, must be heavily defended, so he will not succeed so easily.
All of a sudden, Cao Cao's unattractive cheeks were about to turn into the word "囧".
"Brother Hiding..." Seeing that it was almost time and no longer teasing Brother Hiding, Yi Xiaotian spoke at the right time. "Have you ever heard of a symptom called war sequelae?"
Ah...the aftermath of war?
Cao Cao was stunned... He had heard of countless symptoms, but he had never heard of any sequelae of war? What kind of symptom is this?
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, with a huge question mark between his eyebrows.
Of course...how could Cao Cao know?
In the medical field before time travel, a very special symptom was identified called "war sequelae".
The corresponding group of people are those soldiers who have finished fighting, especially those who have lost the war. They often feel inexplicably irritable, often depressed, have no direction in life, etc...
In the presence of people with a cheerful personality and an open mind, this symptom will only last for a few days and then naturally dissipate with the wind.
But... there is a kind of people who become very dangerous and their vital signs become very fragile after suffering from "war sequelae"...
Yes, he is a narrow-minded person like Yuan Shao who likes to find dead ends every day...
It can be said that once Yuan Shao suffered from this disease.
It must be a feeling of depression, as if the body has been hollowed out... there is nothing else to do all day long, and all that can be thought about is to go down a dead end... Finally, you will reach the end of your life in such negative emotions.
certainly…
To help Yuan Shao suffer from this "sequelae of war"...it seems that we need to add a fire! And a medicine introduction!
The upcoming battle of Cangting is the best raging fire. As for the medicine introduction...
hey-hey…
Thinking of this, Yi Xiaotian clicked his lips and said meaningfully.
"Brother, the sequelae of war are very serious for narrow-minded people. Once you suffer from them, you will definitely die!"
"It's just... If you want to help Cao Cao's eldest brother Yuan Shao get this disease, Cao Cao... you have to be very cooperative." "For example, in the battle of Cangting, Cao Cao has to work harder. It's best to be able to
Completely annihilate Yuan's army. Only in this way...from both physical and psychological aspects, can Yuan Shao be given the heaviest and most deadly blow, and the more deadly sequelae of the war will quietly come!"
