Chapter 59: Driving the tiger to swallow the wolf, three tigers competing for food
"Brother Yi, don't be so pretentious, I'm still waiting for your 'little plan'!"
Cao Cao smiled and asked...
Yi Xiaotian gathered his emotions for a while, composed some simple words, and then spoke loudly. "To conquer Xuzhou, you must boil the frog in warm water. Cao Cao will be the first to bear the brunt, so Cao Cao will have to use this strategy to drive away tigers and devour wolves..."
Drive away tigers and devour wolves…
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian patted his forehead, as if he felt that the wording was not precise enough, he pondered a little, and then added, "It should be called the strategy of 'driving the tiger to devour the wolf' and 'three tigers competing for food', which is more appropriate!"
Hmm... Driving a tiger to devour a wolf? Three tigers competing for food?
Cao Cao thought carefully...
It is easy to understand from the literal meaning that driving the tiger to devour the wolf means driving Liu Bei to attack Lu Bu, or driving Lu Bu to attack Liu Bei, thereby weakening their mutual power and alliance.
But what are these three tigers competing for food?
Besides Liu Bei and Lu Bu? Which prince is this third tiger?
Cao Cao shook his head... "Brother Yi, I can probably understand this strategy of driving away tigers and devouring wolves, but these three tigers are competing for food? Besides Liu Bei and Lu Bu? Which tiger is there?"
At this point, Cao Cao put his face in front of Yi Xiaotian's ear, very curious about the name of this third tiger.
hey-hey…
Yi Xiaotian smiled lightly, looked towards Huainan with a faint gaze, and murmured, "Yuan Shu from Huainan is a narrow-minded tiger. Likewise, he is not a good neighbor in Xuzhou!"
Hmm...Huainan Yuan Shu?
Cao Cao thought for a moment and immediately understood the meaning of Yi Xiaotian's words.
What kind of person is Yuan Shu? Cao Cao is very familiar with him. He is stingy and has a strong sense of family and concubine. He always makes things difficult for others and does not take others seriously.
It seems that in this guy's heart, he can only betray others, and he will never allow others to betray him?
So…
Liu Bei, who was originally affiliated with Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan's camp, turned against him and switched to the camp of his sworn brother Yuan Shao. This was like slamming Yuan Shu's face on the ground and rubbing him. Cao Cao didn't need to deal with this resentment.
When conquering Xuzhou, Yuan Shu will not let Liu Bei go, let alone Xuzhou...
According to his temperament, Bao Buqi will secretly unite with Lu Bu and agree to jointly attack Liu Bei. In this way, the situation in Xuzhou will be much more interesting...
And he, Cao Cao, appropriately used letters and rumors to convey divisive words into Yuan Shu's ears. This slowly igniting raging fire would become extremely strong.
Cao Cao is such a smart man. With Yi Xiaotian's advice, he has already thought up a comprehensive strategy...
Haha, Liu Bei and Yuan Shu are fighting, but Cao Cao is as stable as Mount Tai.
When the time comes, watch the changes in Xuzhou, wait until the time is ripe, and reap the benefits of being a fisherman. It will be wonderful, wonderful...
Brother Yi's plan of "driving the tiger to devour the wolf" and "three tigers competing for food" is so wonderful!
Thinking of this, the corner of Cao Cao's mouth rose, extremely pleased...
Of course, Cao Cao was extremely shocked deep in his heart.
Yi Xiaotian lives thousands of miles away, but he knows the character traits and psychological states of Liu Bei, Lu Bu, and Yuan Shu very well, and he can take advantage of their character weaknesses in just a few words. It's awesome! It's awesome!
Yi Xiaotian observed Cao Cao's expression and immediately smiled. "It seems that Brother Hidden has understood my 'little plan'! Brother Hidden, tell me, how does this plan go?"
Facing Yi Xiaotian's inquiry, Cao Cao turned around and faced Yi Xiaotian directly. With a short beard, only twelve big characters were left - "A battle without bloodshed is incredible! Xuzhou can be defeated!"
Hahaha…
Cao Cao laughed loudly and for a long time. Cao Cao had not been so cheerful for a while.
After ten breaths, it seemed that the annoyance in Cao Cao's chest was gone. Suddenly, he felt that laughing like this was a bit abrupt.
Cao Cao put away his smile and said seriously.
"Brother Yi, according to your strategy of driving away tigers and devouring wolves, and three tigers competing for food, Cao Cao only needs to spread rumors in Huainan that Liu Bei has deserted Gongsun Zan and looks down on Yuan Shu. Then Yuan Shu will definitely attack Xuzhou with all his troops. No matter what Lu Bu's attitude is, Xuzhou will
The city will inevitably have a war. If both sides suffer, Cao Cao's opportunity will appear!"
Cao Cao said it with great joy and full of emotion...
At the end of the story, he patted Yi Xiaotian's arm. "Brother Yi, is there any deviation in my understanding?"
"Basically good!" Yi Xiaotian replied, then shook his head and added, "However, it's still a little bit off!"
"Huh? Missed by a few?" Cao Cao was stunned...
Yi Xiaotian said loudly. "Brother Hi is only focused on driving a wedge between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu, but he neglects that the relationship between Liu Bei and Lu Bu is the most important thing in conquering Xuzhou..."
Well…
Cao Cao nodded and Yi Xiaotian continued.
"If I were Cao Cao, while spreading rumors in Huainan, I would also quietly send someone to deliver a bamboo slip to Liu Bei. I only need to tell Liu Bei that Lu Bu attacked Yanzhou unexpectedly. Cao Cao and Lu Bu are at odds with each other. If Liu Bei can help him kill Lu Bu
, then the whole of Xuzhou will be surrendered...when the time comes..."
Ah...the whole of Xuzhou? Give it up?
Before Yi Xiaotian finished speaking, Cao Cao exclaimed...
Isn’t this price too high?
You know, he still owns half of the land in Xuzhou? How could he be willing to hand it over to Liu Bei?
With this in mind, Cao Cao hurriedly spoke.
"Brother Yi? Are you exchanging Xuzhou for Lu Bu's head? Isn't that a bit much..."
Cao Cao asked, but as soon as this question was raised, Cao Cao suddenly woke up. Looking at Yi Xiaotian's playful look, he immediately understood what...
If you really want to exchange Xuzhou for Lu Bu's head, this is just a strategy to drive a wedge between Liu Bei and Lu Bu!
What kind of person is Liu Bei? He must always maintain his tall image of convincing others with virtue and benevolence.
Would he really kill Lu Bu in exchange for Xuzhou? Become the laughing stock of the world?
But... once this letter is sent.
Liu Bei's thoughts and Liu Bei's actions are not important at all.
The content of this letter will reach Lu Bu's ears.
What would Lu Bu think? But with a sense of security, would he be restless? Would he live on tenterhooks all the time?
hey-hey…
In order to avoid the tragic situation of people being killed and being killed at any time, he will definitely speed up the process of seizing power and seizing Xuzhou...
Coupled with Yuan Shu's surprise attack, the annual drama of "Three Tigers Contesting Xuzhou" is about to begin.
The snipe and the clam fight over each other and the fisherman gets the profit. Cao Cao sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight. He is as happy as a god!
Ha ha…
Cao Cao laughed out loud. It turned out that he had only understood half of Brother Yi's clever plan, and he was still very knowledgeable about the other half.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but admire Yi Xiaotian...
He did not hesitate to express his praises in his mouth.
"Brother Yi, you are really amazing! You took advantage of Liu Bei's coveting of the whole territory of Xuzhou, you took advantage of Lu Bu's greed and arrogance, you took advantage of Yuan Shu's aggressiveness, and mobilized them to attack each other. Brother Yi, this plan of yours is better than
One hundred thousand soldiers!"
Hearing Cao Cao's boast, Yi Xiaotian waved his hands repeatedly...
He actually felt a little embarrassed and said, "It's just a joke, it's all a joke, I just said it casually, keep a low profile, let's keep a low profile..."
"Hahaha…"
Cao Cao laughed out loud.
"Brother Yi is still so humble. With Brother Yi's talent and learning, no matter which camp he is in, he will be a guest of the upper class. It's a pity that Brother Yi doesn't like the secular world. Otherwise, once Brother Yi comes out of the mountain, how can all the princes in the world be able to do so?"
Huh?"
"Brother Hi, Miao Zan, I'm just talking nonsense, nonsense. If Brother Hi thinks it's reliable, then offer the advice to Cao Cao. If it works, it will help Brother Hi's business. If it doesn't, don't blame me.
My God, Yi!"
Yi Xiaotian waved his hand, looking like he was escaping...
Cao Cao smiled and shook his head.
At this moment, his heart was extremely clear. He had felt this way before...
It seems that there is also a wine shop here, and also during the chat with Brother Yi...
Sure enough, no matter how difficult the dilemma is, it can be easily solved by Brother Yi and by chatting with him!
Hahaha…
Cao Cao couldn't stop laughing, and the entire ten-mile peach forest was filled with his laughter.
