Chapter 383: Both hands must be grasped, both hands must be strong
Jizhou's judicial and clerical positions have been filled.
Cao Cao also silently remembered the commendation meeting in his heart... Next, we will talk about the specific details of planning to conquer Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Qingzhou...
For example... Bingzhou?
Can it really be true, as Brother Yi said, that just a commendation meeting and the promotion of Gao Rou can lead to the surrender of Gao Gan, the governor of Bingzhou and Yuan Shao's good nephew?
It seems...not that simple.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao's cheeks became serious, and he asked curiously. "Brother Yi, although Cao Cao has the advantage now, Bingzhou, Qingzhou, and Youzhou are still hidden dangers. Brother Yi, please make arrangements to capture these states."
Let’s make specific plans for the three states!”
Cao Cao deliberately brought the topic to the details of conquering the northern border...
His tone also became a little more serious, and he continued to ask, "For example, in Bingzhou, just with the commendation meeting and the emphasis on Gao Rou, will the senior officials of Bingzhou surrender? Why do I always feel that this seems a bit too simple?
Already."
"Ha ha ha ha…"
Faced with Cao Cao's doubts, Yi Xiaotian laughed out loud and pointed at Cao Cao... "Brother Hide, brother Hide, you are still as timid as before. Sure enough, the bolder you do business, the less courageous you will be.
This is really true!"
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian suddenly stood up, turned around and stood with his hands behind his back...
After organizing some words, he said, "But... Brother Hao has seen it very clearly this time. The commendation meeting may make Bingzhou officials inclined to return to Cao Cao, and the reuse of Gao Rou can also cause infinite fluctuations in the hearts of senior officials... But
, If you really want to plan to merge the state, you still need two ingredients!"
At this point, Yi Xiaotian shut his mouth and deliberately kept it secret.
"Yao Yinzi?" Cao Cao was almost anxious. He was too eager to know what this so-called Yao Yinzi was. "Brother Yi, don't be so pretentious. I'm here waiting to hear it!"
"Haha..." Yi Xiaotian laughed again, and then explained in detail. "The first introduction to the medicine is-Cao Cao's attitude!"
Hmm...Cao Cao's attitude?
Hearing this, Cao Cao looked around at himself. His attitude was very upright. Whether it was his attitude of asking Brother Yi for advice or his attitude of pacifying the northern territory in one go, he was very upright. What did Brother Yi mean by this?
Before Cao Cao can think about it deeply...
Yi Xiaotian's words came out next.
"Brother Hide, think about it, what official title does Cao Cao have on his head now? It's Sikong of the Han Dynasty, Mu of Yanzhou... But where is the place he wants to gain now? It's the three northern states..."
"In terms of geographical location, the three northern states and Yanzhou Mu are simply incompatible. Under such circumstances, not to mention Yuan Shang, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and other high-ranking officials, even the generals under Cao Cao can't.
Even if you are determined... you will also be slack, and you have absolutely no determination and will to sweep away the northern border!"
"You have to know why Cao Cao was able to win a great victory with a small number in the Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Cangting. It was because Cao Cao and Cao Jun... They were just like the overlord Xiang Yu in the past when he conquered the Qin army.
The courage of Guan Zhongchu belongs to Chu. Now, this advantage has disappeared... Such Cao Cao, such Cao Jun? Not even the remnants of the Yuan family will be afraid! Let alone feel the slightest threat. Why surrender?"
Huh...Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, this...
He carefully considered Yi Xiaotian's words.
The more I thought about it, the more I understood some truths...
In the final analysis, it was because Cao Cao was hesitant about whether to recuperate or make plans in one go, which made the soldiers of the three armies hesitate to move forward and slack off one by one.
This is a dangerous signal. As the commander-in-chief, whether he is advancing or retreating, he must make an early decision...
The ambition and will of Cao Jun's officers and men cannot be broken!
…
With this in mind, Cao Cao seemed to have made the final decision in his mind!
"Brother Yi, I understand. When I see Cao Cao tomorrow, I will propose to him..."
Cao Cao's tone was meticulous...
Yi Xiaotian asked in return, "What are you proposing? Come and listen to Brother Hidden..." He was also worried that Brother Hidden didn't understand, but don't get the wrong idea.
"Haha..." Cao Cao clapped his chest and said in a very determined tone. "Cao Cao was originally Sikong and Yanzhou Mu. Sikong represents the imperial court, and Yanzhou Mu represents the local area. This means that the imperial court and the local area are working together. But after Brother Yi said this
After being reminded, I suddenly realized that Yanzhou is now stable, and it is meaningless for Cao Cao to continue to be the pastor of Yanzhou. It would be better to..."
When he said this, Cao Cao paused and his tone became more serious. "It would be better to persuade him to resign from the official position of Yanzhou Mu and take the title of Jizhou Mu... In this way, Cao Cao has achieved both nominal and actual achievements.
The management of Jizhou also sent a message to the remnants of the Yuan family and to Cao Jun's soldiers - the messy northern border was still waiting for Cao Cao to clean up, and it was not the time to rest yet - to go all out to annihilate the Yuan family and level it.
Hebei…”
Speaking of the last twelve words - "At one go, destroy the Yuan family and level Hebei." Cao Cao's tone became a little more intense, and his whole person looked extremely awe-inspiring and domineering...
After deciding on a strategy, he became the decisive hero again. The hesitation between his brows disappeared in an instant. The court and the north had to grasp it with both hands, and both hands had to be strong!
…
The medicine introduction was found and solved, but... Brother Yi also mentioned a medicine introduction.
What is another medicine introduction?
"Brother Yi... you just mentioned that two more medicine introductions are needed to merge the state. I completely understand the first one, but what is the second medicine introduction?"
"This..."
Mentioning the second Yao Yinzi, Yi Xiaotian smacked his lips, and then blurted out two words. "Qingzhou..."
Um...Qingzhou?
Isn't this talking about Jizhou? Why does it come to the topic of Qingzhou again? According to the order, it should be the turn of Yuan Tan of Qingzhou after the high-ranking cadres who have planned to merge the states, right?
"Brother Yi? What do you mean?" Cao Cao stretched out his hand and knocked on his forehead. "There is Jizhou between Bingzhou and Qingzhou? How come Qingzhou has become the medicine guide of Bingzhou?"
For a moment, Cao Cao didn't understand. He was a little confused.
"Brother Hide, I have mentioned it to you many times before." Yi Xiaotian explained patiently in a gentle tone. "The so-called lollipop in one hand, the killer stick in the other, sweet dates on one side, and sweet dates on the other.
Senhan's scimitar, using both grace and power... Only then can we win without bloodshed and achieve victory."
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian waved his hand and continued to explain. "If it is true to my previous plan, for the senior officials of Bingzhou, he has already given birth to the intention of surrender, but... he is still not close to surrender.
The smell, this smell... it’s a mace! A mace placed on his head!”
Yi Xiaotian changed the subject, his tone suddenly became sharp, and he pointed directly at Qingzhou every word.
"As far as I know, Yuan Tan in Qingzhou is not in peace during this period...Cao Cao's attack on Yecheng was a bit like a villain's success. He captured the city and captured the territory, recruited troops to collect grain, and his career was booming..."
"Even in Qingzhou, those territories that did not originally belong to him, such as Ganling, Bohai, and Hejian... have also been conquered one after another. These territories... Hehe..."
Yi Xiaotian paused for a moment and then said, "These territories were originally Cao Cao's. Brother, please take a closer look."
"Yuan Tan's series of actions, taking advantage of the conflict between Cao Cao and Yuan Shang, he continued to incorporate his younger brother's territory, and constantly attacked Cao Cao's territory. It was as if he was sitting on a mountain watching the fight between tigers, doing big things.
Strong, the feeling of challenging Cao Cao..."
"Such a duplicitous villain is the most dangerous. If he is not wiped out with thunderous force, there will be hidden dangers in Hebei after all."
call…
Cao Cao exhaled, he knew what Brother Yi said.
For this reason, from the very beginning, Cao Cao judged that Yuan Tan's previous surrender was just a false surrender, and now... it was time to teach Yuan Tan's eldest son a lesson, who was watching the fire from the other side.
Of course, the decision to give birth is not enough...
The key to the problem is, how to defeat Yuan Tan in Qingzhou? Nowadays... Yuan Tan, who has developed quietly, is really not a soft persimmon!
Regarding this, Cao Cao really wanted to hear Brother Yi's opinion!
