Chapter 336: Is it a "cuckold" or a "happy father"
"Brother Yi, in the second battlefield, among the four armies, the hidden danger of the high-ranking army has been eliminated. Presumably...brother Yi has also figured out a way to deal with the other three armies, right?"
Cao Cao asked...
As he spoke, he did not forget to wink at Cao Ren. Cao Ren understood and immediately filled a bowl of wine for Yi Xiaotian.
He said, "Brother Yi, take a sip of wine first. You are spending time with a girl, and you have many clever plans in Jizhou. Let's moisten your throat..."
"Thank you, Brother Ren."
Yi Xiaotian took the wine bowl, took a sip, and then continued to speak. "Brother Huo probably knows that the high-ranking troops are the main force for Yuan Shang to open up the second battlefield. The others, whether they are the Shanyu of the Southern Xiongnu or
The group led by Guo Yuan is not large in number...only the princes of Guanzhong, Han Sui and Ma Teng, need to be treated with caution!"
Getting to the point.
Cao Cao nodded, leaving aside the high-ranking Bingzhou troops, Han Sui and Ma Teng were two fierce tigers from Kansai. If they came to kill them, it would be really difficult to deal with them!
"Brother Yi? How to deal with Han Sui and Ma Teng?" Cao Cao asked urgently.
"This..." Yi Xiaotian paused slightly, seeming to be thinking.
Searching from relevant ancient books and documents in his memory, Yi Xiaotian found a lot of information about Cao Cao's Dingguanzhong...
It was precisely in this information that a person's name suddenly appeared on Yi Xiaotian's forehead - Zhong Yao!
This is an awesome person who plays a vital role in the process of appeasing and quelling the chaos in Guanzhong...
Of course, the main reason why Yi Xiaotian was deeply impressed by him was not this.
…It’s because of his other “incomparably outstanding” ability.
According to historical records, Zhong Yao was born in 151, the same age as Cao Cao, and is not too young now. However, his son, the later famous Zhong Hui, was born in 225.
In other words, Zhong Yao was already seventy-five years old when Zhong Hui was born.
If we throw away some popular stories about "cuckolds" and "happy fathers"...
Yi Xiaotian can only comment on Zhong Yao in four words - so terrifying.
To be able to give birth to a son after seventy years of age is not only because he is still strong, but also because of his physical fitness and calm and calm temperament.
Of course, these can only illustrate some aspects of his abilities, but... this still cannot conceal Zhong Yao's outstanding talent in putting down the Guanzhong Rebellion.
Thinking of this, Yi Xiaotian asked back, "Brother Hao, do you know Zhong Yao?"
Um...Zhong Yao.
Cao Cao is no stranger. Three years ago, Brother Yi formulated the strategic plan of "looking east, gathering west, crossing south, making peace in the north, and settling in the middle". Among them, he was responsible for the "West Long" plan and won over the princes in Guanzhong such as Han Sui and Ma
It was Zhong Yao who was so excited. In my impression, he was casually recommended by Brother Yi.
he…
Thinking of this, Cao Cao became more curious. "I know Zhong Yao. Not only do I know him, I am also very familiar with him!"
Yes...of course I'm familiar with it.
Cai Yong was Cao Cao's mentor at Taixue. Cai Yong has two successors in the field of calligraphy. One is his daughter Cai Zhaoji, and the other is Zhong Yao.
Strictly speaking, Cao Cao and he are brothers in the same discipline!
Besides, this Zhong Yao was also a great calligrapher. He was good at seal script, official script, Zhen script, Xing script and Cao script. He even promoted the development of regular script and was revered as the "originator of regular script" by later generations. Cao Cao was closely related to calligraphy in calligraphy.
Zhong Yao also had many exchanges with each other, and the relationship was quite good.
"Brother Hi, since you are familiar with Zhong Yao, you should feel at ease with him."
Yi Xiaotian continued. "I remember, it was three years ago. Zhong Yao rushed to Guanzhong on Cao Cao's order to win over the princes of Guanxi. It seems...for three consecutive years, there was no chaos in the whole of Guanxi. According to me
I can see that even if this time, the Yuan army moves forward to attack, watching with eager eyes, and even contacting the princes of Guanxi, as long as Zhong Yao is here, this second battlefield is as stable as a dog! Brother Hiding, you and Cao Cao should rest assured.
!”
...Stable as a dog.
Phew...Cao Cao's heart trembled. It seemed that Brother Yi had great confidence in Zhong Yao.
But in Cao Cao's view, Zhong Yao was just a Confucian scholar. Strictly speaking, he was a calligrapher and a talented scholar.
In the past three years, his ability to win over the princes of Kansai has been considered extraordinary. Now... facing the offensive of the three armies of the Yuan family? Can he withstand it?
What's more, he still has to face Yuan Shang's attempts to win over the Kansai princes. Under such circumstances? Can he stabilize the situation?
This series of question marks appeared on my forehead one by one...
Cao Cao felt completely wrong. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Zhong Yao couldn't handle it...
"Ahem...Brother Yi..."
Cao Cao coughed lightly.
"This is too simple what you said...but...according to detailed reports, Yuan Shang has secretly contacted the princes of Guanxi. Recently...the Kanxi soldiers led by Han Sui and Ma Teng are about to rebel. This is enough to make Zhong Yao
The head is big, not to mention the Jizhou soldiers and horses led by Guo Yuan, and the cavalry led by the Shanyu of the Southern Huns... they... they..."
At the end of his speech, Cao Cao's voice became hoarse and he couldn't speak anymore...
After all, if this situation continues to develop, once Zhong Yao is unable to handle it, Guanzhong is likely to become the second battlefield between Cao and Yuan, or even become the second breakthrough!
True.
Now, Cao Cao has opened the door to Jizhou and opened the way to conquer the north, but once the door to Guandong is opened by Yuan Shang... this is full of family-changing rhythm!
Every time he thought about this, Cao Cao's mood became very complicated and melancholy.
Unexpectedly, Cao Cao still had a bitter look on his face, but Yi Xiaotian had already started waving his hands and laughing...
Ha ha ha ha…
"Brother Hide, you underestimate this Zhong Yao!"
Yi Xiaotian reminded directly.
"Brother Hi, you have probably forgotten... When the emperor was detained in Chang'an, Cao Cao sent envoys to try to establish contact with the court. Li Jue and Guo Si directly rejected Cao Cao's sincerity, but it was Zhong Yao who persuaded them hard - 'Today's Heroes
Together, they each used the emperor's edict to dominate, but Cao Cao was thinking about the court and the emperor in his heart. If he rejects his sincerity, everyone in the world will be disappointed!"
"It is for this reason that Li Jue and Guo Bang gave Cao Cao the official title of Yanzhou Mu in the name of the imperial court. Cao Cao, this 'copycat', ah no... is the democratically elected Yanzhou Mu who finally deserves his title! Let me tell you, brother.
Say, at that time, Zhong Yao was able to predict that Cao Cao would rise. What was his insight and ability to judge the current situation?"
call out…
When Brother Yi said this, Cao Cao was thoughtful, but only for a moment. He immediately waved his hand. "This insight and ability to judge the current situation are simply outstanding!"
Hey!
Yi Xiaotian smiled slightly and continued.
"This is nothing. In the second year of Xingping, Li Jue coerced the emperor, and various warlords fought with each other in Chang'an City... Zhong Yao, in the complicated situation, managed to balance the forces of all parties and use them to help the emperor escape from Chang'an.
Successfully returning to the east, this is the overall situation for Cao Cao to welcome the emperor and order the princes! How about Zhong Yao's ability to handle complex situations if he hides his brother again?"
Huo…
Cao Cao was startled. When Yi Xiaotian said this, he really felt that he had underestimated Zhong Yao...
This fellow disciple of Cai Yong’s sect is not simple!
He immediately came up with the idea that Zhong Yao could really handle the complex situation in Guanzhong, and he could even make Cao and Yuan Xi's second battlefield as stable as Mount Tai!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao grinned, finally showing a somewhat gratified expression...
But at this moment.
Yi Xiaotian's words came next.
"Brother Hiding, in fact, this is nothing... What I am going to talk about next, Zhong Yao's deeds, Zhong Yao's characteristics, and Zhong Yao's ability are the ultimate reasons why he can stand in Guanzhong and never fall.
