Chapter 411: Brother Yi’s product must be a high-quality product
"Brother Hide, you really made the right decision this time." Yi Xiaotian praised Cao Cao happily, and then waved his hand. "This senior official can really resist..."
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian called the waiter to get a map of the northern border, slowly unfolded it, and pointed his hand in the direction of Bingzhou.
"The governor of Bingzhou, Yuan Shao's good nephew Gao Gan, is actually a capable guy, capable of literary and military skills, and has a great reputation. Recently, more of the remnants of the Yuan family in Qingzhou, Youzhou, and Jizhou have either fled to Liaodong to join Yuan Xi or Yuan Shang
, on the contrary, they all rushed to Bingzhou and joined the independent kingdom of high officials! This is very meaningful!"
Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded. The point mentioned by Yi Xiaotian was precisely the point that Cao Cao was very suspicious of.
It stands to reason, damn, even your senior officials have surrendered, yet you have repeatedly incorporated the Yuan family's old troops. Isn't this ambition written on your face?
Before Cao Cao could ask more questions... Yi Xiaotian's voice came out one after another.
"There is another important reason why high-ranking cadres rebelled. The terrain in Bingzhou is too dangerous. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Fighting in the mountains is not Cao's army's strength... Previously, he was forced to surrender voluntarily due to the situation and pressure from the outside world.
But soon the high-ranking cadre will understand that there is no need for him to surrender, he can just be his own mountain king and the local emperor of Bingzhou, and Cao Cao can't do anything to him anyway."
Hearing this, Cao Cao frowned.
Yi Xiaotian's words almost revealed all the worries in his heart...
Bingzhou is not a big place, the economy is not prosperous, and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Unless the senior officials give up on their own initiative, Cao Cao really can't use force.
call…
Cao Cao exhaled and frowned. "Brother Yi? Bingzhou is so troublesome and the officials are so cunning. What should Cao Cao do next?"
This was a serious question... Cao Cao still looked serious.
Yi Xiaotian stretched out his hand and pointed to several key points surrounding Bingzhou on the map. "Don't panic, brother. Even though Bingzhou is impregnable, it still has weaknesses. For example, there are many forces around it..."
After being reminded here, Cao Cao noticed that the vicinity of Bingzhou except Jizhou and Youzhou in Cao Cao's hands.
There are Wuhuan and Xianbei in the north, the Xiongnu in the south who are close to each other, Guanzhong in the south with a stable situation, and Yongliang in the west. It is not an exaggeration to say that Bingzhou was the place of the Four Wars.
Cao Cao's thoughts changed rapidly.
...Brother Yi drew a circle. Could it be that he was planning to...
Before Cao Cao could think about it, Yi Xiaotian's voice came out one after another. His words were very short, only four words, but each word was sonorous, powerful and loud - "Besieged on all sides!"
Huo... got it!
How smart Cao Cao was, he understood everything at once. Brother Yi meant to unite Wuhuan and Xianbei in the north, the Southern Xiongnu in the east, the Guanzhong princes in the south, and the Yongliang people in the west to jointly attack his high officials.
In this way, even though there are many mountains in Bingzhou that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, you, a senior cadre, can care about the front but not the back, and you can care about the north but not the south.
On the other hand, Cao Cao now has this strength.
Not to mention that Ma Teng from Xiliang has gone to serve as an official in Xudu City, Ma Chao from Yongliang, and Han Sui will definitely listen to Cao Cao's orders;
In Guanzhong, Zhong Yao of Chang'an City has already stabilized the situation, and it is not a problem to lead his troops north to cross the Yellow River;
Also...the Southern Xiongnu and the Xianbei clan have sent envoys to see Cao Cao, expressing their willingness to surrender...
It seems that...this "besieged on all sides" plan can be properly arranged by all other methods except Wuhuan. As for...this Wuhuan!
With this in mind, Cao Cao continued to raise doubts.
"Brother Yi, what you said is a good plan. Except for Wuhuan, the other forces are either Cao Cao's allies or have surrendered to Cao Cao. As long as high-ranking officials dare to rebel and Cao Cao raises his banner, they will definitely be the first.
Time follows...but this Wuhuan..."
When Wuhuan was mentioned, Cao Cao stopped talking. Yi Xiaotian was a smart man. He only needed a gentle reminder and he would definitely understand what he meant.
Sure enough, Yi Xiaotian moved his finger up to the border of Liaodong in Wuhuan.
He held his chin with one hand and seemed to think for a moment. Finally, he pointed to the western half of Liaodong and reminded. "Brother Huo, actually one of the two major Wuhuan tribes bordering Bingzhou is called the Qiaowang tribe."
At this point, Yi Xiaotian took the initiative to explain, as if he wanted to tell Cao Cao in detail about Wuhuan's past and present lives.
In fact, Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Southern Xiongnu all belong to the Xiongnu tribe that was once mighty during the Han Dynasty...
During the reign of Emperor Wu, the Han Dynasty sent troops to attack the Xiongnu in the north, restored the style of the Western Regions, and divided the Xiongnu tribe into two. The southern Xiongnu surrendered to the Han Dynasty, while the northern Xiongnu was forced to move westward and reached Europe.
Such a Northern Huns tribe, which was beaten by the big man and was as panicked as a lost dog, suddenly became prosperous in Europe, defeating the local indigenous Goths and Germans one after another, and established the Huns on the Rhine River and the Pod Plain.
The empire... even once came to Rome!
This is one branch of the Northern Xiongnu. As for the Southern Xiongnu, in the process of falling in love and killing each other with the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, they gradually became the three tribes of Wuhuan, Xianbei and Southern Xiongnu.
Speaking of Wuhuan, it’s even simpler. In fact, at the foot of Wuhuan Mountain in Liaodong, a few shirtless men raised their arms and shouted that we were independent. Then... they became the leaders near Wuhuan Mountain...the scope of their influence expanded.
The bigger they get, the more brutal their plundering of the Han Dynasty has become in recent years...
After the former Wuhuan king Qiu Liju was killed by Gongsun Zan in his peak period, Wuhuan was divided into countless small tribes. Today, there are only two largest tribes left, the Qiaowang tribe in the east and west of Liao Dynasty.
And the Tadun branch in the eastern border of Liaodong...
It just so happens that these two Wuhuan tribes have a tacit relationship with the Yuan family and even have many marriages.
Therefore…
Now these two Wuhuan forces share the same hatred and jointly fight against Cao Cao...
Yi Xiaotian told Cao Cao what he knew about Wuhuan's past and present lives.
Cao Cao listened very carefully. He was an open-minded man. He knew deeply that if he wanted to defeat the enemy, the first thing he needed to do was to understand the enemy!
Yi Xiaotian recounted this in detail, and Cao Cao had a new understanding and knowledge of Wuhuan's Qiao Wang and Tadun, which was crucial to the upcoming confrontation between them.
"Brother Yi, you have said so much, but one thing is that the relationship between Wuhuan and the Yuan family is very tacit."
Cao Cao's tone became more serious. "Don't say that they won't help us attack Bingzhou. If we can't protect it, they will send troops south to help the Yuan family recover! Now, news has been sent back from the front line that Wuhuan and Chenbing have already moved southward.
signs of."
"Brother Hi, what you said is half right."
Yi Xiaotian blinked his eyes, and then divided Liaodong on the map into two parts with his hands. At the same time, his words came out one after another.
"Actually, one of the two Wuhuans can still be fought for - King Qiao. Speaking of which, this King Qiao is the new Khan King. Many people in the tribe are dissatisfied with him, so he needs strong support, but now
The Yuan family is obviously not a strong supporter...At this time, if Cao Cao extends an olive branch, then...in public and private matters..."
"Brother Yi means? Support King Qiao? Everyone gets what they need... and besiege Bingzhou?" Cao Cao immediately threw out what he understood... his eyes were full of expectation.
"You can say that! But..."
Yi Xiaotian nodded and deliberately let it slip. Seeing that Cao Cao's ears were eager to close to his mouth, he continued to explain. "In addition to using King Qiao to besiege Bingzhou, doesn't Brother Hao feel that he is fighting against Yuan Shao?"
Son-in-law...Wuhuan King Tadun and Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, these two unlucky children, can we also use this Qiao King?"
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian narrowed his eyes. "Use gold and silver treasures, cloth and food to support King Qiao, in exchange for him sending troops to help Cao Cao win Bingzhou, and then let him turn his troops to attack Tadun. Wu.
Although the Huan people are brave, they are not wise. They will focus on the immediate interests. However, they have fallen into the plan of "driving the tiger and swallowing the wolf" by our subordinates. This is a good opportunity for Wuhuan to fight among themselves and reap the benefits of the fishermen.
!”
Phew... drive the tiger and devour the wolf! Reap the fisherman's advantage!
Cao Cao heard this plan again, and again, and again.
This is the strategy that Yi Xiaotian is best at using. He takes advantage of the greed of the human heart and the weaknesses of human nature to infinitely amplify the enemy's desires. In the end, he watches from the other side and reaps the benefits.
seem…
When facing greedy enemies, this trick is very effective.
"I understand, I understand..." Cao Cao nodded heavily. "I will tell Cao Cao right now and ask him to send an envoy with gold, silver, jade, silk, cloth, and silk to immediately rush to King Qiao to win over him.
…”
As soon as he said this, Cao Cao suddenly realized that he wanted to do it now without further ado.
"Brother Hi, wait!"
Yi Xiaotian put his hand on his shoulder and stopped him directly.
"As far as I know... Cao Cao's family is not the only one who wants to win over King Qiao now. Gongsun Kang in western Liaoning is also sending people to unite with him!"
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian's tone became serious.
"With all due respect, sending an envoy to Wuhuan is of great importance, and the envoy sent is even more important. I will recommend a person to Brother Hao. As long as he goes, this matter will definitely be accomplished!"
Recommend?Talent?
Cao Cao's eyes suddenly opened, he was thirsty for talents...
Besides, this is a talent recommended by Brother Yi, and the right thing to say is - the products produced by Brother Yi must be high-quality!
