Chapter 58: Boiling a frog in warm water, sitting on a mountain and watching a tiger fight
"Liu Bei is not a simple person!"
Cao Cao sighed, he had never looked down on Liu Bei.
But it seems that I still didn't expect that Liu Bei's control of the current situation and the control of people's hearts is simply terrifying...
If Yi Xiaotian hadn't told Chen Mingsan the story behind Xuzhou, Cao Cao would still be kept in the dark by the hypocritical Liu Bei. If he really attacked Xuzhou with a sudden attack, Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei would all cause him trouble.
Small troubles, even deep quagmire.
"Isn't it easy? Haha, it would be great if Brother Hao can understand this level."
Yi Xiaotian patted Cao Cao on the shoulder.
"Speaking of which, Liu Bei is quite courageous. Xuzhou is suffering from internal and external troubles. Liu Bei dares to plot because he is determined to compete with Cao Cao, who is eyeing him."
"He turned his back on his old classmate Gongsun Zan without blinking an eye. This shows that Liu Bei is so eager for a piece of territory that he is so hungry that he becomes his mother if he has milk!"
"In such a short period of time, he could clearly understand the situation in Xuzhou, win over the celebrity faction, marry the commoner faction, both oppose and cooperate with the Danyang faction, and even accept Lu Bu's tribe, hug Yuan Shao's thigh, and jointly resist Cao Cao. What can he do?
This guy’s mind is not simple for this conspiracy!”
At this point, Yi Xiaotian stood up with his hands behind his hands and chanted a sentence loudly
"In my opinion, this person must be the one who can compete with Cao Cao for the world in the future!"
Huo…
Fighting for the world? It must be this person!
Cao Cao's heart trembled. The weight of Yi Xiaotian's words was too heavy. Not to mention Liu Bei, Cao Cao now only owned the land of one state. In the north, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan both had bigger territories and more soldiers than him!
In the south, there are Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng who control the nine counties of Jingxiang. To the west, there are the brave and capable Xiliang warlords Li Jue and Guo Si. Which one is not a strong enemy? Not a strong force? In this situation? Not to mention fighting for the world, but being able to fight for the world.
It's not bad to survive in these troubled times.
What's more, Xuzhou, the big granary that Cao Cao had always cherished, had not fallen into his hands after several changes.
Fighting for the world? Brother Yi’s words are grand, but it’s always too early, right?
As for Liu Bei? He is even more insignificant and unbearable. Now he can stand on his own, but he still relies on others! Can he also grow into a prince who can compete for the world? What do you think, how do you find it incredible!
Cao Cao is full of doubts...
Yi Xiaotian smiled slightly. "It seems that Brother Hao doesn't believe it! Otherwise..."
Before Yi Xiaotian finished speaking, Cao Cao guessed the second half of the sentence. Brother Yi was planning to make a bet with him again.
This time, Cao Cao changed his previous boldness and waved his hands repeatedly. "Brother Yi, this bet is too big. I don't dare to fight you! Besides, the originally clear situation has suddenly become confusing. I don't know what it is now."
Only then can we do business in Xuzhou..."
When it came to business, Cao Cao deliberately looked extremely troubled...
"Sigh... with the support of Yuan Shao and the joint efforts of Lu Bu and Liu Bei, I'm afraid Cao Cao won't be able to capture Xuzhou for a while. When my business reaches Xuzhou, I'm afraid it will be the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse again!"
At this point, Cao Cao was pacing around like a businessman, with his head downcast and his feet stomped.
He kept muttering in his mouth.
"What if there is a way? It would be great if I could help Cao Cao capture Xuzhou. It would also solve the dilemma of my business development... By the way..."
Cao Cao seemed to wake up suddenly. He opened his eyes and hurriedly asked Yi Xiaotian.
"Brother Yi? You have the most ideas. Do you have any methods? Can you help Cao Cao defeat Liu Bei and Lu Bu in a short time and plan to conquer Xuzhou?"
There is a lot of foreshadowing in the front, just to lead to this matter...
This is the ultimate reason why Cao Cao stayed up all night last night and meditated under the old locust tree early in the morning. It is also the key to this chat with Yi Xiaotian.
How to defeat Liu Bei and Lu Bu? How to quickly conquer Xuzhou?
I never thought that Cao Cao's tone was urgent and he wished he could get the idea now...
On the other hand, Yi Xiaotian looked calm and calm, and it had nothing to do with him. He slowly sat back on the stone steps, waved his hands, and blurted out a few words.
"If you want to win quickly, there is no way!"
Um...no way?
Even Brother Yi is helpless against Xuzhou City?
Cao Cao's brows suddenly furrowed even more tightly, and he quickly asked, "Brother Yi mentioned before that Xuzhou City is a long-lasting good thing for Cao Cao. Isn't it true that the final result...is a good thing?"
"Yes, Xuzhou City is indeed full of troubles!" Yi Xiaotian waved his hand, "I mean, if Cao Cao wanted to win quickly, it would be impossible to capture Xuzhou in one go...but...it is possible..."
but…
Is this a turning point?
Cao Cao's eyes suddenly opened, his spirit was shaken, and he wanted to put his ear to Yi Xiaotian's mouth.
Yi Xiaotian's words came one after another.
"If I were Cao Cao, I would boil a frog in warm water and make the situation in Xuzhou more chaotic step by step! In troubled times, heroes emerge!" Yi Xiaotian narrowed his eyes and seemed quite satisfied with his proposal!
Hmm...boiling a frog in warm water?
Cao Cao rolled his eyes, what does this mean?
How to cook this "frog" in Xuzhou City?
"Brother Yi, please stop beating around the bush, your head is spinning!" Cao Cao said impatiently...
"Haha..." Yi Xiaotian smiled lightly and explained immediately. "Brother, don't look at the fact that Xuzhou City is now monolithic. Lu Bu and Liu Bei have many generals, but in fact, there are big hidden dangers hidden in the whole of Xuzhou!"
"What's the hidden danger?"
"What kind of thing is Lu Bu? In recent years, whenever he has been subordinated to others, there will always be some annual dramas! For example, he killed his adoptive father Ding Yuan and executed his adoptive father Dong Zhuo... Do you think he will get along well with Liu Bei?
?”
Yi Xiaotian reminded with a smile...
call out…
After being mentioned like this, Cao Cao seemed to have thought of something, and even had a plan in mind!
Of course, he didn't say the plan out loud. He was waiting for Yi Xiaotian's next words. Maybe Brother Yi thought more carefully than he thought?
Yi Xiaotian's words came next.
"Brother, Lu Bu is not a guy who is willing to succumb to others! Nowadays, strong enemies are suppressing the situation. We have no choice but to do so. Lu Bu and Liu Bei will work together to fight against the enemy. But... whenever the strong enemy retreats, or the situation is not so serious,
When the time comes, Lu Bu will definitely stab Liu Bei. This is his usual style! And, he will definitely do this! What's more..."
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian raised his eyebrows and simply asked a question.
"Isn't there a counselor Chen Gong beside Lu Bu? What if this Chen Gong were the brothers? What advice would Lu Bu have given the current situation?"
Cao Cao thought for a moment and then blurted out.
"If I were Chen Gong, I would definitely suggest that Lu Bu unite with the Danyang faction who has been neglected but has military power in Xuzhou, and then unite with the Danyang faction to further plot against Xuzhou!"
"Yes, doesn't it make sense to hide it from my brother?" Yi Xiaotian laughed, "Lü Bu and Liu Bei are not of the same mind. Sooner or later they will have a fight, and at this moment, Cao Cao just needs to sit on the mountain and watch.
In the fight between tigers, Xuzhou can be defeated with a little strategy!"
Well…
Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight? Make a little plan?
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, and it seemed that, all of a sudden, he felt that Xuzhou had become so easy to get.
"Brother Yi..."
Suddenly, Cao Cao stood up and saluted Yi Xiaotian solemnly.
"Brother Yi, please tell me this 'little plan'. If I can give Cao Cao a plan this time and solve his urgent need, then... in the future, in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, I am afraid I will be able to go sideways!"
"Haha..." Yi Xiaotian replied with a smile. "It's not just these two states and counties. I bet that Brother Hao will be able to walk sideways in the entire world in the future!"
"Thank you for your good words from Brother Yi! If I, Ah Man, can walk freely in this world, I will definitely let Brother Yi walk wildly in the world!"
Cao Cao stood up, his tone extremely cheerful...
In a nutshell…
Yi Xiaotian and Cao Cao looked at each other, laughing at each other.
