Chapter 568: A plan to bet on the rest of your life
Military orders were issued one after another from the Shangshutai.
The entire northern army quickly began to mobilize, with Xu Du at the head, and the whole body was affected. Under Xun Yu's control, Cao Cao's family business that had been operating in the north for many years exploded with unimaginable power.
A large amount of military rations went south from Youzhou, connected with Yecheng, and went straight to Xudu. However, Xudu simply emptied the stored grains. Xun Yu sent the tiger and leopard cavalry who were still guarding Xudu and Luoyang to escort them as quickly as possible.
Head straight to Xiangyang.
Basically what Yi Xiaotian thought, the Guanzhong area also quickly received orders from Xun Lingjun. The Guanzhong area, which was supposed to be recuperating, suddenly entered a highly tense state of wartime preparations.
The generals such as Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan and others who were escorting the frontline civil servants back were sent directly to the battlefield on the Western Front with a transfer order from Xun Lingjun.
The area around Hefei and Shouchun on the eastern front should have been peaceful, but Xun Lingjun believed that Sun Quan might take this opportunity to launch an attack on Hefei. This point coincided with Yi Xiaotian's. In addition to the previous news that Yi Xiaotian was in Xiangyang, Xun Lingjun believed that Sun Quan might take this opportunity to launch an attack on Hefei.
After quickly allocating the rescue forces in Xiangyang, troops were quickly assigned to Hefei in order to strengthen the defense on the eastern front.
In just one day, the entire Chancery was like a sophisticated machine, issuing orders quickly and steadily, mobilizing the military resources of the entire north.
Not only that, knowing what the impact of the defeat in the Battle of Chibi would be, the gentle and gentle Xun Lingjun actually became resolute and decisive in his political orders.
The chiefs of various prefectures and counties, especially those close to Cao Cao, received secret orders from Xun Lingjun: once there are signs of rebellion, first trace back to the source, and then eradicate the roots to avoid future troubles - in short, kill!
With no excuses left, the storm was coming, and the entire north was shrouded in the haze of Chibi's defeat. Cao Cao's cronies were naturally grieving, but this gave many troublemakers who had been lurking for a long time to take advantage of the situation.
Opportunity to rise.
Xun Yu knew that this was inevitable. Cao Cao had taken too big a step. Although the unification of the north seemed to be an unparalleled achievement, in fact, the stability of all this was based on the assumption that Cao Cao could continue to win. Once Cao Cao lost,
...As it is now, all assumptions will fall apart.
Under such circumstances, the Gongsun family in Liaodong, the remnants of Wuhuan, Han Sui in Xiliang, and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong are the most likely group of people to stab Cao Cao at this time, so what Xun Yu has to do now is
It is to quickly kill such signs while ensuring the smooth operation of the front line. Even if the hidden danger cannot be completely eliminated, at least it will be delayed until Cao Cao retreats.
Xun Lingjun is worthy of the reputation of Wang Zuo's talent, and all this is only because he believes in Yi Xiaotian.
"After this battle, we will be clean with Duke Cao..."
Xun Lingjun's face remained calm, but he already knew where he was going.
Cao Cao became strangers to Xun Yu from the moment he added Jiuxi and became Prime Minister. However, Xun Yu was always looking for opportunities to separate from Cao Cao, of course to repay the kindness of knowing him.
"From now on, just be an idle man among the mountains and rivers."

Sihasha…
The active performance of Shangshutai in recent days seems to have made many people in the north feel that even if Cao Cao is defeated, they can still carry their weight and move forward. This is naturally attributed to Xun Yu's series of precise operations.
However, there are still people who don't think so, and even... feel that Xun Yu's series of operations have harmed their interests. Among them, there are many people with ulterior motives who are conspiring to subvert the unification established by Cao Cao.
And the person most affected by it seems to be writing letters trembling all over.
The trembling pen tip and trembling ink are currently hanging above the silk book.
"Your Majesty... hurry up... Marquis Huaili might be back soon."
The speaker was Fu Shou. She was lying nervously behind the palace gate, with half of her body exposed, and she quickly scanned the atrium in front of the palace.
Xun Lingjun may have been thinking about it, but he never thought that when he mobilized resources from all directions to fill in the gaps, when he subconsciously relaxed his vigilance towards the palace, he actually caused the most troublesome source of chaos in the palace.
Liu Xie…
His eyes were red and bloodshot at the moment, his nostrils were tightening and constricting, and he was breathing heavily.
He stared straight at the silk book in front of him, and his mind was in chaos, but he knew...if he didn't seize the time, he might lose his last chance to escape Cao Cao's control.
That's right...Liu Xie never gave up, even if he was really desperate before...The little emperor was born in troubled times, and every time he was carried by others was a test of his character. If it is really placed on history, someone like Liu Xie
People with an average mind are really rare.
However, this does not change Liu Xie's own lack of overall perspective. He has never thought about what will happen to him once chaos breaks out in the north, and how the world will be devastated. He has never thought about it... He knows how to be patient, but
The purpose of forbearance seems to be just to free yourself.
With such a simple purpose, Xun Lingjun went to put out the fire, while Liu Xie lit a fire in his yard.
"General Zhengxi, Han Wen made a personal appointment..."
This... is a secret letter written to Han Sui of Xiliang - the whole world is full of Cao Cao's people, and with no hope of seeking help from Sun Quan and Liu Bei, this is the only way out that Liu Xie can think of at the moment.
Han Sui...this was nominally the general of the Han Dynasty conquering the west, but he did not follow the Xiliang warlord who entered the capital with Ma Teng.
Liu Xie originally thought that Ma Teng came to Beijing to save himself, but after taking such a long time, he realized that Ma Teng had already become Cao Cao's lackey. He came to Beijing just to keep an eye on him.
Own.
The anticipation turned into anger.
Under the sorrow and resentment day and night, Liu Xie actually came up with a vicious plan in which the brothers turned against each other and finally put the blame on others.
Yes--
The so-called brothers are Han Sui and Ma Teng... Regarding Ma Teng's actions, Liu Xie realized that if he could not get rid of Ma Teng, his future actions in the capital would only be restricted.
But what is it that can make Ma Teng, a cunning man like him, fall into the trap and even be willing to be involved in the whirlpool?
"Only Xiliang... let Han Wen make some plans to rebel against Ma Teng's sons. In this case, Ma Teng, an old dog, will definitely go to Guanzhong regardless of everything..."
"Until then…"
Liu Xie is really not stupid.
He unintentionally used some very advanced strategies, such as information gap, time gap...
All in all, in one of his letters, he planned a plan that could shake the foundation of Cao Cao's rule in the north——
He first notified Han Sui to start a rebellion, promised him the position of prince, and used the false news that "Ma Teng was poisoned by Cao Cao" to instigate the unsuspecting Ma Chao, Ma Tie, and others. The two parties colluded to counterattack Chang'an, and finally informed Ma Teng of Guanzhong
In the crisis, his brother and son jointly rebelled, and ordered him to rush to help quickly——
In the end, "Ma Teng's death" will happen on the road without anyone noticing, making the false news completely true... When Ma Chao and others finally confirm the news of Ma Teng's death, the instigation of rebellion becomes true.
of rebellion.
All interconnected, such a vicious plan... Only Liu Xie, who had tolerated it for many years, could consider it - he had bet the rest of his life on this plan... Even Xun Lingjun had no precautions against it.
