Chapter 36 Cao Cao’s vision is nothing more than this
It started to snow lightly in Yanzhou. We were in the second Little Ice Age, so the weather was like this, so changeable.
Chenliu County, Suanzao County.
At the door of the wine shop, Yi Xiaotian rubbed his hands and looked up at the sky, complaining about the increasingly cold weather. At the same time, he felt the warmth inside the wine shop, which gave him a feeling of ice and fire.
The area around the wine shop was already completely white, and the drifting snow swaying in the wind was like flying dandelions, falling layer by layer on the land, seemingly giving the wine shop a new look.
As usual, Cai Zhaoji would bring some workers to clean the road in front of the wine shop. Her elegant and refined appearance, coupled with the falling snow, made it even more refined and beautiful.
However, in this weather, only few people came to the wine shop.
From a distance, you can see the white snow on the official road as far as the eye can see. It is obvious that the newly fallen snow has not been damaged yet.
But at this time.
In the official road covered with heavy snow, suddenly, the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard. The rapid sound of horse hoofbeats not only destroyed the new snow, but also destroyed the tranquility of a wine shop.
"Brother Hiding? Brother Ren?"
The sound of horse hooves cheered up Yi Xiaotian, and he hurriedly took two steps outside.
In the vastness, in the snow, the figures of two people and two horses are like ghosts, coming at a gallop like lightning...
Yi Xiaotian can recognize it, isn’t the person who came just hiding it from brother? Brother Ren!
At this time, their expressions were cold, as if they were frozen, and the horses they stepped off had countless snow on their four hooves. Even if they ran all the way, they could not hide the snoring in their mouths.
"Quick, hurry up and meet them!"
Yi Xiaotian hurriedly ordered a few men to quickly help them hold the horses. Cai Zhaoji took two handkerchiefs and gave them to them, asking them to wipe the ice crystals from their entire cheeks.
Cao Cao and Cao Ren didn't say a word, but subconsciously walked towards the wine shop. Their legs were extremely stiff, but their eyes were shining, releasing a glimmer of hope.
There is a wine shop, finally arrived!
…
Entering the wine shop, Yi Xiaotian ordered someone to bring two bowls of hot water...
Cao Cao and Cao Ren respectively took off their black coats and shook them, causing a thick layer of snow to fall off.
It looked like they had been riding for a long time.
Who knows, why do they have to gallop such a long distance in such weather? Why do they have to work so hard?
All the wine shop clerks gathered around, and they were also curious, what happened in the emergency? How could two people ride so desperately to this point...
"Brother Yi, we are finally here!"
Cao Cao let out a sigh, but his lips were still a little stiff, thinking he was quite seriously cold.
"Brother Hiding? But what happened?" Yi Xiaotian asked urgently... "In this weather, your riding method will kill people!"
"Haha..." Cao Cao forced a smile, but his laughter was still extremely stiff and even a little stumbled.
He raised his head and looked around...
Yi Xiaotian understood the idea and immediately ordered all the guys. "Go down and have a rest. There won't be any business in this damn weather!"
Hearing this, although the guys are still a little curious...
After all, I had to withdraw. It was a different kind of comfort to be able to curl up under the quilt in such horrible weather.
For a time, only Yi Xiaotian, Cao Cao, Cao Ren, and Cai Zhaoji were left in the entire wine shop...
Cai Zhaoji helped the three of them boil the wine.
Cao Cao was the first to speak. "Brother Yi, such a big thing has happened to us in Yanzhou, but you are so calm and composed?"
"Huh? Something big?" Yi Xiaotian asked. "What's the matter?"
For a moment, I still didn't come back to my senses.
"Lü Bu is here!" Cao Cao continued, deliberately showing an extremely worried expression. "It's exactly as Brother Yi expected. Zhang Miao, Chen Gong whom Cao Cao trusted the most, actually had an affair with Lu Bu and secretly plotted against Yanzhou.
…”
"What about this?" Yi Xiaotian spread his hands and looked innocent. "What do I think is such a big deal?"
"Isn't this a big deal? This is a big deal that could kill me!"
Cao Cao looked extremely anxious. "My business is spread all over Yanzhou, and I have a lot of dealings with Cao Cao. I funded a lot of his military resources. If Lu Bu captures Yanzhou, he will definitely kill me."
To relieve the hatred in his heart..."
"Isn't this already conquered?"
Yi Xiaotian waved his hand, signaling Ah Man to calm down. "I heard that Cao Cao appointed Xun Yu and Cheng Yu to guard Juancheng and Chenliu County. They not only guarded these two key cities and counties, but even killed the rebellion plans of Chen Gong and Zhang Miao.
In the cradle, Cheng Yu personally advised the counties and counties to stabilize the situation. Isn't this good? The situation is in Cao Cao's favor! Cao Cao is still very discerning in employing people!"
Yi Xiaotian immediately praised Cao Cao...
Cao Cao immediately felt ashamed. This is not because he has any foresight. It is clearly Brother Yi who has the foresight!
If Yi Xiaotian hadn't known about Chen Gong and Zhang Miao's conspiracy in advance and recommended Xun Yu and Cheng Yu in advance, the current situation would have been a huge turnaround.
It's a pity that Puyang City fell.
well…
Cao Cao sighed.
If he had listened to Yi Xiaotian and forcibly prevented Xiahou Dun from defending the city, then...I am afraid that Lu Bu will return in vain now and will still be his baseless loser. The situation is even better, and Cao Cao doesn't even have to do it because of the heavy snow.
I traveled five hundred miles to get here.
call out…
Cao Cao sighed and regretted it!
"Brother Yi, Cao Cao's vision is nothing more than this."
Cao Cao blamed himself. "If he had Brother Yi's insight, I'm afraid this Lu Bu wouldn't have the slightest chance, and Puyang City would definitely not fall! Alas..."
Cao Cao frowned and said deliberately, "I still have a lot of property in Puyang, but now it's all over!"
"It can't be finished!"
Yi Xiaotian waved his hand to tell Ah Man to relax. "This time Lu Bu attacked Yanzhou with the help of Chen Gong, and Zhang Miao cooperated with others. Even so, he only captured a mere Puyang city, which was insignificant. His troops could not increase in a short time."
Go up, the people's hearts are not stable, and it is Lu Bu who should be worried now! For Cao Cao, just sending back some of the soldiers and horses who conquered Xuzhou is enough to solve Puyang's dilemma."
Hmm... Partial return of reinforcements? Brother Yi means dividing the troops into two groups?
Cao Cao's tiger body was shocked. "Brother Yi, what do you mean? Cao Cao will divide his troops into two groups? One way to return to Yanzhou, and the other to continue the conquest of Xuzhou?"
"This should be the best strategy to break the situation so far."
Yi Xiaotian said... "Of course, Cao Cao may not do this. Maybe he will withdraw his entire army to Yanzhou to ensure the safety of the base camp."
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian paused for a moment. "It's just like this. I'm afraid that with great difficulty, those cities captured in Xuzhou will be handed over to others again. Oops, I'm afraid that I'm hiding my business from my brother, and I won't be able to do it for a while.
We can’t make it to Xuzhou.”
As soon as Yi Xiaotian raised his hand, he felt a sense of pity for Cao Cao.
Cao Cao frowned...
This is the key to his coming here!
He wants to defend Yanzhou, but he doesn’t want to lose Xuzhou either...
But? Is there really a way to have the best of both worlds? Can we really have the best of both worlds?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao asked urgently.
"Brother Yi? Do you think that if Cao Cao divides his forces into two groups, is he sure that he can not only recapture Puyang City but also capture the entire territory of Xuzhou?"
As if he felt that he had asked a question too hastily, Cao Cao quickly added another sentence.
"This is related to the prospects of my business development. I hope Brother Yi will give you some advice..."
