Chapter 381: Catch the snake by seven inches, Brother Yi has deep tricks
Thirty miles east of Yecheng, there is a wine shop!
After the dishes prepared by Zhen Luo to go with the wine were placed one after another, she sat next to Yi Xiaotian, helping her husband and Mr. Hao pour wine from time to time.
Cao Ren didn't drink, and was on guard carefully... After all, this is Hebei, so you can't be careless!
On the contrary, it was Cao Cao and Yi Xiaotian, who drank happily.
…
"Brother Yi, do it! Have another bowl!"
Since it was drinking, Cao Cao was very bold and unbridled. He drank several large bowls in a row, which made Yi Xiaotian fall into a trance.
"Brother Hi, I don't think you can drink like this! One bowl after another, why can't we let you eat the food!"
Yi Xiaotian waved his hand and said directly. "Brother Hide, you have to think about it. Isn't it urgent that you come here today? If you really make me drunk, let's see who can still discuss it with you!"
Hey…
As soon as Yi Xiaotian blurted out these words, Cao Cao was stunned. He dared to grab the snake by seven inches. Brother Yi was very sophisticated. With this sentence, Cao Cao was immediately restrained.
"Ha ha ha ha…"
Cao Cao laughed helplessly. "That's it, that's it."
Immediately afterwards, he grabbed the wine bottle in front of Yi Xiaotian and drank a bottle for him... and then he spoke. "Brother Yi, let's not talk about my urgent matter. Let's take a closer look at the situation in Hebei you just mentioned.
To tell you in detail... just because of this situation, my mind is almost turned into a mess."
"What's the mess?"
It seems that Yi Xiaotian's words are very relaxed, as if the situation in Hebei is under control...
This confidence and freedom made Cao Cao extremely admired...
Cao Cao pricked up his ears and listened carefully to his speech.
Yi Xiaotian's voice then came out. "Brother Hi, now Cao Cao has taken Yecheng and plans to conquer Jizhou. This Han Dynasty's most fertile and prosperous state is in his hands. Look around him. The bitter cold land of Youzhou in the north is
, the Bingzhou frontier to the west, not to mention Qingzhou, was the place where the Yellow Turban Army caused the most ferocity back then...Don't you think, Brother Hao, that the remnants of the Yuan family occupying these three states are just trying to survive?"
Yi Xiaotian first asked a question...
Hey... After what he said, Cao Cao really felt that it was a bit interesting. It seemed that... the remnants of the Yuan family occupying the three states were not as troublesome as imagined!
This idea just appeared and was quickly denied by Cao Cao.
In the government office meeting this morning, the counselors discussed the current situation in detail. Combining the information from Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Qingzhou, everyone came to a surprisingly unanimous conclusion. The remnants of the Yuan family should not be underestimated.
It seems...the three states combined have no less than 200,000 Yuan troops, and there are many foreign races nearby, most of which are friendly with the Yuan family. The situation is not as optimistic as imagined.
With this in mind, Cao Cao immediately raised questions.
"Brother Yi, at first I thought that the three border states were just the remnants of the Yuan family lingering on, but...according to the intelligence, these three states have a lot of troops, military supplies, and food and grass. Moreover...after all, they are still Yuan.
If our faction suddenly wakes up and joins forces, they can still cause a lot of trouble to Cao Cao!"
"joint?"
Yi Xiaotian narrowed his eyes, and from the words, he was keenly aware of a misinformation point in Cao Cao's mouth.
"How can we give them time to wake up and unite?" Yi Xiaotian's tone became solemn. "Today's Cao Cao... should defeat them one by one in one go and completely level the northern border. The so-called go all out in one go, then weaken again, and then exhaust three times.
If you really slack off in one breath, then...the good situation will be completely ruined."
…
Hmm... Is it possible to make great efforts in one go, then fail again, or be exhausted three times?
Cao Cao knocked on his forehead. The biggest point of debate in the government office today is... whether we should conquer the northern border in one go, or whether we should recuperate and recuperate. After all... these years, Yuan's army is tired from the southern and northern wars, and Cao's army is also tired. Not only Cao's army is tired.
, even Cao Cao felt the long-lost fatigue...
In his heart, he still never stopped his journey to unify the world and achieve the hegemony of King Tu, but his body was extremely honest. He was tired, exhausted, and wanted to slow down and take a good rest... at least a year or two to rest, etc.
Two years later, the day when the broken sword is reforged will surely be the time when the hero returns!
But it seems that Yi Xiaotian does not support him. The general direction of Brother Yi's strategy is just four words - go all out!
call out…
Cao Cao exhaled and continued to preach.
"Brother Yi, it's not impossible to go all out. Cao's army is tired, and Yuan's army will only become more tired. Cao's army is tired, and finally there are successive great victories to boost morale. Yuan's army has been defeated one after another, and now the war timidity must be serious...but..."
At this point, Cao Cao paused and then waved his hand.
"There are several difficulties..."
His eyes flickered, and Cao Cao shook his head. "The first thing that bears the brunt is the issue of staying behind in Jizhou. To be honest, Brother Yi... Nowadays, Cao Cao's subordinates can't even choose a Yecheng order to be in charge of public security, nor can they choose a chief secretary to be the prime minister's copywriter in Yecheng.
…If Cao Cao’s army attacks Bing, Qing, or Youzhou at this time, and the rear is unstable, this will be a huge hidden danger!”
There was a hint of annoyance in Cao Cao's tone, and in his next words, he emphasized his tone again.
"Secondly... Although Brother Yi mentioned that Yuan Shang, Yuan Tan, and the high-ranking cadres are externally strong and middle-ranking cadres, he is living in imagination... But in fact, their military strength is not weak, and there are many strong generals in their troops. In addition, they are waiting for work.
The city is high and the river is deep, making it difficult to deal with! Besides... even if we want to fight? Which one should be attacked first? Which one should be attacked last? When Cao Cao's army is out on an expedition, will there be a fire in the backyard? Can we not repeat the story of Lu Bu's sneak attack on Yanzhou? "
As expected of Cao Cao... he has become extremely cautious in planning the overall situation.
Word by word, the situation in the entire north is analyzed clearly and clearly, and the opportunities and problems here are thrown out together... The whole situation is extremely clear!
Even Yi Xiaotian couldn't help but marvel at this, Brother Hao has made progress...
It is true that the current Cao Cao is not the same Cao Cao who dared to chase Dong Zhuo alone when his head was hot, and finally came back defeated...
Nowadays, he is very wise and scheming. He can see three or four steps in the future every time he takes a step. He is extremely thoughtful in everything he does.
Of course, this also has a disadvantage, that is...the greatest victory is often achieved through dangerous battles.
"Brother Hiding... You have raised a lot of questions. Let me solve the first one for you first! The issue of staying behind in Yecheng!"
Yi Xiaotian smiled slightly, then picked up the wine bowl, took a sip, moistened his throat, and then continued to speak. "It is true that most of the people Cao Cao brought with him when he led his troops to the north were generals and counselors, who would inevitably be used in governing the city.
We are stretched thin... Therefore, there will indeed be the problem that Brother Hi mentioned that there is no talent to govern the country and the Yecheng rear area is unstable... But..."
Yi Xiaotian deliberately gave it a try and opened his mouth when he saw Cao Cao turning his whole face towards him. "But... Yecheng natives have reliable talents for governing the country... For example, the Yecheng Order that Brother Hao mentioned, I
I know there is a person. If he serves as the magistrate of Yecheng, the entire Yecheng will be like Xudu, with strict laws and regulations and no door closing at night!"
Well…
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly asked, "Who? Who?"
He was curious... Why didn't he know about such talents? Why didn't anyone recommend them?
"His name...is Gao Rou." Yi Xiaotian blurted out.
Speaking of this guy...
Yi Xiaotian couldn't help but think of his related deeds in ancient books and documents.
Gao Rou has a very special status. She is the governor of Gao Bingzhou, the good nephew of Yuan Shao, and the cousin of the duplicitous master Gan Qian.
In the interpretation, Gao Rou seems to have few scenes, but this cannot hide his outstanding ability in the official history.
Gao Rou, Chen Liuren…
As early as more than ten years ago, when Cao Cao first launched his army, he was in Chenliu and predicted that there would be a desperate battle between the newly promoted Yanzhou Shepherd Cao Cao and his good classmate Zhang Miao.
So... Gao Rou directly gave up on joining Cao Cao and instead joined his cousin Gao Gan in Jizhou!
I never thought... Cao Cao would come to Jizhou now. Not only did he come, Gao Rou also became a surrendered general and Cao Cao's prisoner.
It can only be said that fate plays a trick on people.
hiss…
Cao Cao thought about it a little.
Gao Rou, this name really impressed him. It seemed that Xun You had mentioned that he was the cousin of Gao Gan, the governor of Bingzhou.
Nowadays, Gao Cao and Cao Cao are still in a hostile relationship. Cao Cao doesn't have much trust in this Gao Cao's younger brother... He is even thinking about how to charge him with a crime and get rid of him!
He never thought that Brother Yi would recommend this person. This made Cao Cao become more cautious and curious about Gao Rou's attitude.
In fact... according to the development of history, Cao Cao will also reuse Gao Rou, but it will go through a complicated process.
at first…
Cao Cao will appoint Gao Rou as the Inspector of Crime, which is an official title dedicated to spying on crimes in Ye City.
It is considered a branch of the judicial department. This kind of position is particularly prone to mistakes and offending people. Who knows who is doing it? It can be called the most deceptive of all official positions.
It’s obvious that Cao Cao’s intention in assigning this official to him was to let him get into trouble, and then enforce the law impartially and kill him with one knife, which would make it easier and happier.
Unexpectedly... This Gao Rou really has a lot of skills, and he is fair and fair. There has never been any wrongful case or unjust case, and even the cases that have been accumulated for a long time in Yecheng are understood...
Cao Cao was stunned... Later, Cao Cao went to Gao Rou's department to find some clues and find some handle on him. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Gao Rou sleeping with the document in his arms...
Suddenly, Cao Cao could not escape the law of "true fragrance"...
It was not until that time that Cao Cao knew that Gao Rou was a rare talent... She was so fragrant.
Of course, because of Yi Xiaotian.
This process of suspicion can be completely avoided...
You must know that Yi Xiaotian's recommendation is more important to Cao Cao than the petitions from officials and the tens of thousands of words written by the people.
Of course, Cao Cao still had to inquire in detail.
"Brother Yi? What is so good about this Gao Rou? That Brother Yi pays so much attention to him? I am even surprised. After all, he is the cousin of Cao Cao's enemy Gao Gan!"
"hey-hey…"
Facing Cao Cao's doubts, Yi Xiaotian smiled slightly. "I was just about to say this. Gao Rou has a good way of managing cities and counties, but this is not the point. He can help Cao Cao on the issue of annexing the state.
Very busy!"
Hmm... Bingzhou? Busy?
Cao Cao was stunned. How could a mere Gao Rou help him seek to annex the state?
hiss…
The whole person's spirit was lifted, and Cao Cao pricked up his ears and listened attentively.
