There was nothing wrong with Cao Cao's consideration. At least for the same merit, the reward would be a few levels higher than that of the princes and kings. This was obviously not cost-effective. And with Liu Bei's current status, he could not do such things where rewards and punishments were unclear, let alone
What's more, the systems established by Wang Xuan would never allow this to happen.
In fact, this kind of thing troubles not only Liu Bei, but every monarch. Otherwise, there will be no need to reward when there is no reward... and there will be things like killing the problem directly.
However, this is only relative. Even if Wang Xuan cannot mobilize more than 20 generals with strong energy to go into battle at the same time, a dozen or so can still be done!
Of course, what Cao Cao is saying now is just to boost everyone's morale. If these people at the top are discouraged, then there is no need to fight this battle.
Cao Cao's analysis made everyone excited again.
Of course, in the final analysis, it's not that Cao Cao's analysis is so sophisticated, it's something that no one had thought of before. In fact, these data were all made public by Wang Xuan. Who doesn't know? Everyone just needs someone to give them a reason to re-energize.
It's just a hope of winning the battle.
Whether it is the Xun family, the Zhong family, the Chen family, the Xu family, or the Cheng family, which was once a poor family and is now newly rising because of Cheng Yu, their interests are tied to Cao Cao.
No one can escape.
If Wang Xuan had just conquered Yuan Shao's Hebei land before, due to various reasons, he would not kill the Hebei family, leaving the Hebei family with a lot of room for maneuver. When it came to the Western Expedition to Guanzhong and Hanzhong, Liu Bei
Now that the situation was complete, Wang Xuan showed no mercy when he started to massacre the Hanzhong family.
When they arrived in Yizhou, facing such a well-established Yizhou family, Wang Xuan was even more merciless. Simply because Wang Xuan gave everyone three days to escape, people sighed "benevolence". This shows that
It's spot on.
In fact, if it hadn't been for Guan Yu and Gan Ning's successive tricks, Wang Xuan would have put his energy into rectifying Yizhou, and then the army went to pacify the Southern Barbarians. Yizhou was too big, occupying Sichuan, Guizhou,
In Yunnan, only a few areas near CD, Ba County, and Qianwei County have been truly developed. Most of the remaining areas are occupied by the Nanman people, but the development space is too big.
Of course, the greater possibility is that after Wang Xuan explained the matter, he simply abandoned his son and went home. Isn’t he a sweet wife and beautiful concubine at home?
The problem is, he won’t allow these two scammers Guan Yu and Gan Ning!
Therefore, these aristocratic families in the Central Plains are now as afraid of Wang Xuan as a tiger. If Cao Cao is really defeated, then their life and death will be completely controlled by Wang Xuan's hands. How can these aristocratic families who have been arrogant and domineering for hundreds of thousands of years...
Tolerate.
Well, it’s no longer a question of whether you can endure it, but whether you can live...
"Your Majesty is wise and knowledgeable. We were almost intimidated by Wang Xuan. In fact, the total number of troops that Wang Xuan can mobilize is less than 20,000 in Xiangyang, and Gan Ning has less than 20,000.
, there are only 40,000 people, so what can even the elite do? Even if they are flooded with a large army, they can still be drowned!"
A fierce look flashed in Cheng Yu's eyes. Although the population on the two sides is similar on the surface, it is actually much more on their side. Of course, these populations are hidden households in the hands of aristocratic families, but everyone knows this well.
Ming, at this moment, no one will be stingy...
Bar!
Of course, the Cheng family is an emerging family after all. At this time, we still need those established families to put in more effort. Well, there's nothing wrong with it!
As soon as Cheng Yu said these words, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up. Damn it, yes, they looked at themselves and saw that they were surrounded by Wang Xuan. In fact, Wang Xuan only had 40,000 people in total. So what?
What a fright!
That's what happened. Wang Xuan only brought 50,000 people to Shu. The fierce battle between the merchants and Cao's army consumed a lot of money. He also had to divide his troops to guard Yizhou to suppress the rebellion. Bringing 20,000 people was already his best effort. As for the Yizhou army,
The prisoners of Cao Cao and Cao Jun did not even have time to re-screen and train them, and they could not meet Wang Xuan's basic requirements for soldiers.
Of course, with Wang Xuan's strict requirements for soldiers, if he wanted to reach this point, he would not even think about it without training for more than a year.
After understanding this, everyone in the hall couldn't help but curse in their hearts. They were almost frightened by that thief Wang Xuan. It was really embarrassing.
Confidence is like a spring. The lower it is pressed, the faster it rebounds. After discovering that Wang Xuan was completely bluffing, everyone always believed that the reason why Wang Xuan was in this situation was entirely because of
It was necessary to cover up the true situation that Liu Beifang was very weak because his territory had expanded too much in a short period of time and he had eaten too much.
I want to use this situation of surrounding myself to contain all my energy, so as to give Liu Bei time to recuperate and consume the food he just ate. In this case, Liu Bei will not be able to achieve his wish!
Once Liu Bei is really allowed to digest all these new places to eat, then... everyone looked at each other. In everyone's mind, Wang Xuan's most powerful thing is internal affairs. Liu Bei's development speed is too rapid, then Wang Xuan is simply
Rushing like an unbridled wild boar, Liu Bei was able to catch up with their centuries-old family in a short time, and then another Zhu Juechen left them far behind.
Therefore, Wang Xuan must not be given this time.
(Wang Xuan: MMP, you just praised me, but in the blink of an eye you turned against me!)
"If we start a full-scale war with Wang Xuan, we must not give Wang Xuan time to digest the gains. We must divert their energy to the battlefield." Xun Yu said decisively, his eyes full of unshakable determination.
He is the most stubborn conservative. It is for this reason that he married his daughter to Chen Qun. This is Chen Qun's "nine-grade Zhongzheng system", which was also perfected with the help of Xun Yu. However, he is more powerful than his son-in-law Chen Qun.
It is even more conservative, even if the dynasty does not want to change, the emperor can change anyone at will, but it must be a Han Dynasty. Originally, there was a fundamental disagreement with Cao Cao because of this in history.
Everyone nodded. Even Cao Cao agreed with what Xun Yu said. He should not be frightened by Wang Xuan. Instead, he should take advantage of Wang Xuan's lack of troops to fight head-on. As long as he won a few battles, he could weaken the Han army's arrogance.
Secondly, it can boost the morale of our own army and civilians, and thirdly, it can delay Liu Bei's development and restore our own decline.
With so many reasons, everyone quickly reached an agreement.
"Report!!" At this moment, a voice sounded outside the door, "There is a messenger from Xuzhou."
"Come in!" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and then said.
"It looks like there is good news. Gan Ning only brought 20,000 people with him and relied on the power of boats to sail upstream and see the city destroyed. He really thought we were Yuan Shao here!" Zhong Yao curled his lips.
He hesitated, with disdain in his words. He looked down on Gan Ning very much. The legitimate son of a dignified family actually became a water thief. It was really a shame for the family to fall down.
Xu You and Shen Pei blushed upon hearing this, but they had no words to refute. Gan Ning's fame came from their previous lord, which was very embarrassing.
However, in comparison, the current Cao Cao's rule is really not comparable to that of Yuan Shao at that time. It is really a cloud of counselors and fierce generals like a rain. It is definitely not that easy for Gan Ning to replicate the previous battle.
