Chapter 86: The plucked phoenix—not as good as a chicken
"Brother Yi? Why Xu County?"
Cao Cao asked, "In terms of control, wouldn't Juancheng, the seat of Yanzhou, or Chenliu County, the loyal county of culture, be more suitable?"
"No, Juancheng and Chenliu in Yanzhou are not suitable."
Yi Xiaotian waved his hand and then explained.
"Yanzhou is too close to Yecheng, Yuan Shao's base camp. If Cao Cao welcomes the emperor, his power will definitely increase greatly. The surrounding states and counties will also surrender. At that time, his biggest opponents are Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu."
"If the emperor is placed in Yanzhou, and Yuan Shao covets it, he can lead his army south and arrive at dawn, and Cao Cao will not have time to react."
"Therefore, choosing Yanzhou as the capital is an extremely risky move, and Xu County, which is close to Yanzhou but far from Jizhou, is the most suitable."
It turns out that the analysis is based on geographical location.
Cao Cao was suddenly enlightened upon hearing this.
It turns out that Brother Yi is worried about Yuan Shao, the big brother who has always been late-minded.
What if he really gets jealous, pulls some tricks, resorts to thunderous means, and attacks Yanzhou at dawn or dusk, then the emperor will give him up.
When he thought of this, Cao Cao felt frightened. Brother Yi was so thoughtful!
"Brother Yi has considered everything comprehensively."
Cao Cao nodded heavily. "Place the Emperor in Xu County. In this way, Cao Cao can not only stay away from his main opponent Yuan Shao, but also avoid Luoyang, a place where the undercurrent of the Fourth War was surging. It also brings Yanzhou's supply line closer.
Connect Xu County, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou into a line to support each other! In this way, it can be said to be foolproof."
"That's not all!"
After listening to Cao Cao's summary, Yi Xiaotian raised his hand and smiled slightly.
"Think about it from the emperor. The emperor misses his old capital very much, and he is more able to accept Xu County, which is only five hundred miles away from Luoyang;"
"From Cao Cao's point of view, Xu County is the base camp of the Yingchuan clan in his core business circle. After all, it has a deep foundation. It doesn't even take much effort for Cao Cao to establish a good relationship with the local clan. In this way,
It is more conducive to completely controlling the emperor and the imperial court and maintaining the stability of the capital city. Besides, Yingchuan is the birthplace of the Chinese "ming" clan. There are countless famous people here. It just happens that the golden signboard of the imperial court can be used to recruit them all.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to be under your command?"
admire…
After these words came to pass, all Cao Cao felt was admiration.
Even Cao Ren, who was silent next to him, was in admiration at this moment.
High, really high.
Yi Xiaotian's words may seem understated and careless, but every step he takes takes the entire situation of "welcoming the emperor" and all those involved into consideration.
This includes everyone's personality traits, ways of doing things, as well as their weaknesses and strengths.
How to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses, how to combine vertical and horizontal aspects, is the key to a clear and logical analysis.
It's as if this is just a huge chess game, and the emperor and the princes are just pawns in the game.
As a chess player, Cao Cao, under the guidance of Yi Xiaotian, played one piece after another, and even the final result was already determined.
In the battle to welcome the emperor, we will definitely win a complete victory.
Huh... Cao Cao exhaled. His irritability, hesitation, and anxiety were all resolved at this moment, replaced by cheerfulness, relief, and confidence...
Welcoming the emperor and ordering the princes, great things can be decided!
But at this time.
"Brother Yi, I'm a little confused..."
Cao Ren, who has always been silent, scratched his head and asked a question.
"The strategy of welcoming the emperor to Xudu is a good one, and the idea of how to unite vertically and horizontally to repel the various warlords is also a good one, but what about the emperor's attitude? Is it just because Xu County is closer to the old capital Luoyang that he
Will you go to Xu County willingly?"
At this point, Cao Ren patted his forehead.
"If the emperor is disobedient, or is very determined and refuses to go to Xu County? Then... you can't hold the emperor hostage and the court to go to Xu County, right? That way, wouldn't you have the bad reputation of holding the emperor hostage?"
Cao Ren is very thoughtful, and when he said these words, he also thought deeply about it...
To welcome the emperor is not only to control the emperor, but also to gain the trust of the emperor and the trust of the court. At least, in the early stage, the trust between the emperor and the court is crucial to the development of Cao Cao.
Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded, and suddenly became helpless. What Cao Ren thought of was the place he had ignored, but it was an extremely critical place.
The attitude of the emperor must be taken into consideration!
Ha ha ha ha…
Unexpectedly, Yi Xiaotian laughed heartily because of the emperor's attitude problem that made Cao Cao and Cao Ren frown.
"Brother Hi, Brother Ren, you think too much!"
Yi Xiaotian waved his hand. "The so-called 'phoenix with its feathers plucked - not as good as a chicken', 'a man with seven feet and a door with six feet - has to bow his head.' Brother Hiding, Brother Ren, what do you think the situation is in Luoyang now? Dong Zhuo
A fire burned down the entire city of Luoyang. Not to mention the palaces and pavilions, there was no food or drink in Luoyang!"
At this point, Yi Xiaotian paused.
Then he pointed to the Jiu Nian spring wine and mutton soup in front of him.
"As soon as our Han emperor enters Luoyang, he will realize that the beauty of his hometown will always be in his memory. The actual situation is that he has no place to live and nothing to eat. His situation is like stewed pig gall with Coptis chinensis - bitter.
The pain is even worse; the desire for food is like a dog waiting for a bone - very anxious!"
"What's not to be in a good mood? When the time comes, all these will be secondary. As long as there is meat to eat, how can the emperor, who is fainting from hunger, care about his mood? Even if Cao Cao doesn't take him to Xu County, he still has to
Follow him like crazy, follow Cao Cao - there will be meat to eat!"
Ah...ah...
As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao was shocked, and Cao Ren was also stunned.
I dare you, just some food and some meat can make this aloof emperor put aside all worries and willingly move the capital to Xu County...
Cao Cao and Cao Ren always felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't explain it...
The key is that Yi Xiaotian's analysis makes sense.
There is a saying that when the emperor is full and warm, he will think of his wife, but when he is hungry and cold, he will steal his heart. Now that the emperor cannot even solve the most basic problem of food and clothing, how can he still be in the mood to preside over the imperial court? Help the Han Dynasty?
Most of his daily thoughts are that I am hungry and want to eat chicken...
Hey hey hey...
At this time, it is a good idea to seduce him with good mutton or beef. Although it will cause some damage, it is still a good idea!
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
Cao Cao laughed heartily... "Brother Yi, your idea is really both good and evil. It seems that this time I give Cao Cao advice, it will definitely help him welcome the emperor and win a complete victory. When the time comes, I will tell you
The business has already been done.”
At this point, Cao Cao laughed again.
Yi Xiaotian is also laughing...
The entire restaurant's back kitchen was filled with laughter...
Finally, Cao Cao remembered something, something that in his opinion was more important than welcoming the emperor - a wine shop, or a villa...
If the situation develops as Yi Xiaotian predicts, then the capital of the Han Dynasty will definitely be Xu County.
And Cao Cao himself will definitely stay in Xu County more and preside over the affairs of the court.
In this way...it seems that there is a wine shop and the distance between Brother Yi and Brother Yi is a bit far away. If there is any problem, I can't ask Brother Yi for advice immediately. This is very bad...
Cao Cao thought about it for a while, and it seemed that welcoming Brother Yi to Xudu was more important than welcoming the emperor!
But, let’s talk about it.
Cao Cao could build a palace for the emperor in Xu County, so he could also build a wine shop on the outskirts of Xu County. No... not a wine shop, but a mountain villa - Youjian Villa!
By then, there will be a villa, a wine shop, a blacksmith shop, a study, a medical office, a private school, and a ten-mile peach grove, all equipped...
At that time, he could take Yi Xiaotian to Xudu. In this way, wouldn't he be able to have long talks with Brother Yi Bingzhu more often?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao made up his mind.
His whole cheek also became meticulous... He asked urgently.
"Brother Yi? You have no plans to bring Youjian Winery or Youjian Villa to Xu County? That will be the economic and cultural center of the entire Han Dynasty in the future..."
This is a test...
Cao Cao's first priority was to find out Yi Xiaotian's intentions.
"cough…"
Unexpectedly, these words frightened Yi Xiaotian.
He waved his hand. "Brother Hao, please stop making fun of me. This wine shop in Suanzao County, Chenliu County is thanks to brother Hao's help. If I were asked to build a wine shop or a villa again, I'm afraid I would
It’s because you have a lot of ambition but not enough financial resources. Forget it, forget it… you are short of money!”
hehe…
Forget it? How can you forget it?
Strapped for money? Have a lot of ambition but not enough financial resources.
Haha, this is what Cao Cao was waiting for. You are short of money and have insufficient financial resources, but I, Cao Cao, have enough.
Isn't it just money? If you can lose others, can you also lose Brother Yi?
Besides, money is for a bastard, you can still make money if you don’t have it!
Brother Yi, where can you find the second one in this world?
