Chapter 84 Outside Luoyang is a little white rabbit, once entering Luoyang, it becomes a tiger
Chapter 84: Outside Luoyang, he is a little white rabbit, but once he enters Luoyang, he becomes a tiger
With the overall problem solved, all that remains is the strategy to deal with these four groups of small warlords.
It's all about the details. If you don't handle it well, you may fall into a situation where you are alone and surrounded by enemies.
Cao Cao was extremely careful and cautious about this...
Yi Xiaotian was also thinking deeply about the characters, situations, and weaknesses of these four "clowns" in his mind...
call…
After half a cup of tea, Yi Xiaotian thought carefully, organized his words, exhaled gently, and explained to Cao Cao:
"Brother Hide, let's talk about Yang Feng first."
Speaking of Yang Feng, Yi Xiaotian picked up a kitchen knife from the kitchen table and placed it in front of him...
There was a "pop" sound. Cao Cao didn't think anything of it, but it frightened Cao Ren. He was still thinking that it didn't seem to be a big deal. Brother Yi wouldn't draw his sword, right?
Just when he thought of this, Yi Xiaotian's voice came out.
"Yang Feng is like this 'chopping knife', the sharpest but the easiest to be manipulated."
"It is true that he has the most soldiers and the bravest generals. As soon as the emperor arrives in Luoyang, he will definitely occupy all the checkpoints and guard the important roads as soon as possible. To deal with him, we can only join forces, not resist forcefully!"
Hmm? Union?
Cao Cao rolled his eyes. "Unite? Brother Yi, that's easy to say. But as far as I know, Yang Feng is from Xiliang and is Dong Zhuo's old subordinate. Cao Cao has no friendship with him, so how can we unite?"
"Friendship? Haha..."
Hearing Cao Cao mention friendship, Yi Xiaotian laughed out loud and waved his hand. "You don't need friendship at all to unite with Yang Feng, you just need..."
Yi Xiaotian deliberately let it slip...
"What do you need..." Cao Cao asked quickly with his eyes bulging out.
Seeing Cao Cao's furious look, Yi Xiaotian was calm, took a sip of wine, and said, "Brother, have you ever heard that there are no eternal friends in this world, only eternal interests!"
Well…
Interest? Eternal interest?
Cao Cao was startled...
Then his thoughts suddenly changed, and what Yi Xiaotian said really made sense.
But, is this the truth? If we really want to implement it... then...
Without time to think about it, Yi Xiaotian's words came next.
"Brother Hi, you also mentioned that Yang Feng was from the Xiliang Army, and he has a lot of strength in his hands. But precisely because of his background, he can't make sincere friends, or allies..."
"In addition, these four groups of warlords often have rifts overtly or covertly. There are even more differences and contradictions over the emperor's return to the east, and each has their own agenda. Now, Yang Feng, who has no allies and is being squeezed out everywhere, must be feeling miserable.
Very good!"
"Brother, you only know that Cao Cao needs to unite vertical and horizontal forces, but you don't know that this Yang Feng is also eager to see through external allies... What if Cao Cao directly wrote a letter to Yang Feng, praising him and proposing to let him
He is in charge of the overall affairs of the imperial court, and Cao Cao is his most solid backing. Everyone exchanges knowledge and achieves great things together."
"In this case? How could Yang Feng be unmoved? How could the checkpoints along the way not be allowed? In fact, Yang Feng would definitely ask the emperor to issue an edict - asking Cao Cao to march westward to Luoyang!"
"As soon as Cao Cao enters Luoyang, he will follow the old saying - put on your socks first and then your shoes, be your younger brother first and then your master!"
call out…
Cao Cao was stunned.
Yi Xiaotian's plan is brilliant. If you think about it carefully, it is indeed the case.
The biggest difference between Yang Feng and Dong Cheng, Han Xian and Zhang Yang is that he was previously a Xiliang soldier.
The imperial court or various warlords subconsciously looked down on the generals of Xiliang because of Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, and Guo Si.
I feel that they are just a group of cold-blooded animals with simple minds, well-developed limbs, and violent behavior, so naturally I will not have too much contact with them.
By extension, Yang Feng will definitely be isolated by the other three forces. He will be completely isolated. He will have no allies!
call…
Thinking of this, Cao Cao exhaled.
You need allies, and I also need allies. We are working together, we are in the same league, ah no, we should be said to be golden partners, we hit it off right away...
Hehe, use this reason to form an alliance with Yang Feng.
Then, the problem of how to pass the checkpoint and enter Luoyang is easily solved.
He even became famous and gained moral support.
After thinking about this section, Cao Cao's mood suddenly became very good and he was so happy.
As for getting a foothold in Luoyang, at that time...
...The relationship with Yang Feng can be re-evaluated! If he is obedient, then continue the alliance.
If he doesn't obey, you can use a sharp halberd to force him to obey!
As the saying goes - "There are no eternal friends in the world, only eternal interests..."
With the word "profit" in mind, Cao Cao can do anything.
…
Yang Feng's problem was solved, and Cao Cao was in an extremely happy mood.
I drank several bowls of wine and tasted a few mouthfuls of mutton soup. The spicy and fragrant taste lingered in my mouth, giving it a unique taste.
Finally, Cao Cao calmed down and continued to ask.
"Brother Yi? Now that Yang Feng's problem has been solved, what about...the other three forces?"
When asked this question, Cao Cao felt very relaxed...
In his opinion, if he and Yang Feng join forces and cooperate internally and externally, the other three forces will not be a concern.
Of course, you cannot be careless and underestimate the enemy. If you can avoid a head-on confrontation, it is better to avoid it. It is better to use troops to attack and defeat the enemy without fighting. To accumulate strength and sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight is the best strategy.
"Brother Hi, what I want to talk about next is Han Xian and Dong Cheng..." Yi Xiaotian drank less than half a bowl of wine and continued.
"Han Xian? Dong Cheng? Brother Yi want to talk together?" Cao Cao was confused.
"Yes, let's talk about it together!" Yi Xiaotian said firmly, and then raised his hand slightly. "Brother Hide, it's better that the emperor doesn't enter Luoyang this day. As soon as he enters Luoyang, I can guarantee that... he will be the first to cause conflicts and fights.
It must be Dong Cheng and Han Xian..."
"Huh? Why is this?" Cao Cao patted his forehead, a little confused.
"Brother Hide, think about it, who is Han Xian? The leader of the Baibo Army who was recruited by the imperial court. What is the Baibo Army? Their predecessors were the Yellow Turban Thieves! After all, their essence is thieves. They escorted the emperor to Luoyang, and they will definitely
He has done meritorious service in protecting himself, but he acts wantonly, disrupts the government, and exploits the common people..."
"And who is Dong Cheng? He is the father-in-law of the emperor today. I heard that Dong Guiren is still very favored. Dong Cheng is an upright man? How could he sit back and watch Han Siam bring trouble to the court? So, this is correct.
On the contrary, sooner or later the conflict will intensify, and there will definitely be a fight!"
call out…
Dong Cheng and Han Xian fight!
Cao Cao nodded. Yi Xiaotian's analysis was very clear and logical. He listed and analyzed each warlord's character and way of doing things. He couldn't help but not believe it.
But? They two got into a fight? How could Cao Cao reap the benefits?
Just when he thought of this, Yi Xiaotian didn't stop talking at all.
"Cao Cao marched westward to Luoyang, raising a banner to support the imperial court and welcome the emperor. This is similar to Dong Cheng. What if Cao Cao took advantage of the tense situation between Dong Cheng and Han Siam to join forces with Dong Cheng? Then..."
Yi Xiaotian paused deliberately when he spoke here.
Cao Cao suddenly woke up...
"Then, you can swallow Han Siam in one breath! By the way, his power will be eliminated."
"Yes! Brother Hi, you finally figured it out." Yi Xiaotian smiled slightly, "With Yang Feng's support and Dong Cheng's help, defeating Han Xian is just a matter of hand and easy..."
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian paused for a moment, then stood up and raised his hand.
"What's more, when Cao Cao first entered Luoyang, he also needed to win a big victory to intimidate the court, intimidate the warlords, and make everyone realize that the little white rabbit outside Luoyang turned into a tiger once he entered Luoyang!"
Ha ha ha ha…
Hearing this, Cao Cao laughed out loud.
A little white rabbit outside Luoyang turns into a tiger once he enters Luoyang. This metaphor is very appropriate...
Hahaha…
There was another burst of laughter that shook the rubble.
Cao Cao's entire mood became extremely happy...
Suddenly, Cao Cao suddenly thought of someone, and then his smile stopped abruptly.
Now, when Yang Feng, Dong Cheng, and Han Xian are mentioned, Zhang Yang is missing.
This guy has average strength. Logically speaking, he cannot influence the situation in Luoyang...
But if Cao Cao were to join forces in Luoyang and use clever tricks, he would take a step out, mess around, and cause wanton trouble, then... would it be...
When he thought of this, Cao Cao's face darkened.
Again, marching westward to Luoyang to welcome the Emperor is a matter of great importance, and every detail must be extremely precise!
There can be no flaw in the slightest...
Thinking of this, Cao Cao opened his eyes and frowned slightly.
"Brother Yi? Just now, you only mentioned Yang Feng, Dong Cheng, and Han Xian...it seems that you missed one person - Zhang Yang!"
"What if...if Zhang Yang comes to cause trouble when Cao Cao is acting according to his plan? What should we do?"
