Cao Cao stationed his horse at the foot of Mount Tai, looked up at the towering Five Mountains, and sighed: "The First Emperor climbed Mount Tai and consecrated Zen. He shared the same culture and track, and the world was unified. I really don't know whether Mount Tai became famous all over the world because of the First Emperor, or whether it was because of the First Emperor.
Standing out from the crowd."
Xun You accompanied Cao Cao with a solemn expression, not interested in his lord's emotions at all.
"Prime Minister, Taishan County is now besieged by the Lin Army camp. There is no need to continue to guard it. In my opinion, General Xiahou Dun's headquarters should be withdrawn from Taishan County as soon as possible. Only a small number of local armed forces should be left here to maintain daily security."
Cao Cao tilted his head at Xun You and smiled: "Gongda, don't tighten yourself too much. It doesn't hurt to relax occasionally. You and I are only going to visit Mount Tai today and don't think about the clutter of the outside world."
Hearing this, Xun You shook his head repeatedly: "Prime Minister, fighting for hegemony is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will inevitably retreat. Lin Ying attacked one after another and captured the two states of Youbian. If our army does not take precautions as soon as possible, it will definitely become Lin Feng's next attack.
Object."
Cao Cao looked up to the sky and laughed: "Why are you so stubborn Gongda? My hatred for that Lin thief is irreconcilable. Taking away your wife and children is the ultimate humiliation in life. As for the hatred towards Lin thief, there is probably no other person in the world."
Just like me. It concerns the Lin thief, and I am as concerned as you, Gongda, but when the time comes, even if there are all kinds of resentment and hatred, how much can I do to stop the Lin thief?"
"Since the Prime Minister knows what he knows, I won't say anything more. I just want to remind the Prime Minister that my clan uncle, who is still two years younger than me, is really not an ordinary person. He has made suggestions for the Lin thieves. Once he takes action, he will definitely target me.
The army has a fatal weakness that cannot be avoided, and the Prime Minister must not take it lightly."
Cao Cao tilted his head slightly and looked up at the sky. After a long while, he sighed: "What can I do? Lin's army is in great power. Our army can only show off at the drop of a hat, so how can we take the initiative to provoke him?"
Xun You finally understood. It was not that Cao Cao was not worried about the safety of Taishan County, but the current situation was so severe that there was almost no room for change. Cao Dabai, who had never been afraid of any challenge, also looked a little weak.
He pursed his lips, but didn't know how to persuade him. Given Lin Ying's unparalleled momentum, unless the second alliance of princes could be successfully formed, who would dare to stand up and say a word, not to let Lin Feng go?
What about in the eyes?
As the only prominent part of Yanzhou, Taishan County is adjacent to three states in one county.
It borders Qingzhou, Jinan and Qi counties in the north, Dongguan County in Xuzhou in the east, and Lu County in Yuzhou in the south.
However, these four counties are now all owned by Lin Feng. What can bring the last sense of security to Taishan County is the dividing line less than fifty miles away from Shanyang County in Yanzhou.
If Lin Feng sends troops from Jinan and Lujun at the same time, he can defeat Shanyang and Shanyang in one meal at most.
The connection between the two counties of Taishan is interrupted, and then the entire Taishan County will become a turtle in the urn and a closed dog. Lin Feng can cook whatever he wants, and it is impossible for Cao Dabailian to lose his temper at all.
The reason why Xun You tried his best to get Xiahou Dun and his troops to withdraw from Taishan County was precisely based on this judgment.
Staying in Taishan County now is really no different from seeking death.
Cao Cao came to Mount Tai just to relax his mind. During this time, he and Tao Gongzu plotted against each other to carve up Yuzhou, which indeed made him very tired.
Although Tao Qian has grown older and has lost the fearless spirit of his youth, the loss of Dongguan forced Tao Qian to focus more on Yuzhou and Yangzhou.
He didn't dare to march north and kill Tao Qian. He didn't want to have a showdown with Lin Feng, who had just wiped out the four states in the North.
But the glory and wealth that he had obtained were reluctant to be wasted.
Even if Tao Qian is old and can't enjoy much longer, he still has descendants, doesn't he?
If the descendants of the Tao family are to continue to live a life of fine clothing and fine food, he or his chosen successor will lose power in one day.
Tao Qian had previously chosen Liu Da'er, planning to hand over the entire Xuzhou to Da'er's hands in exchange for the Tao family's protection of Da'er's full power for decades.
Who knew that Big Ear was not up to par? Before Tao Qian could pave the way for him to take over Xuzhou, Lin Feng rushed over without hesitation, punched Big Ear and knocked him out, not only stripping away the last fig leaf from Big Ear's body.
, and also chopped off his right-hand men Guan Erye and Zhang Laosan twice with a knife.
In addition, under the condition that it was impossible for anyone to detect it, Lin Feng shamelessly transferred the charm value of Big Ear to himself, which was as high as 99 points, the first person in the Three Kingdoms period, so that Liu Da Er had to hibernate in Pingyuan City obediently.
Relying on the status of the uncle of the Han Dynasty given by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, he was able to survive without any chance of turning over.
Without Liu Da'er, and without the two counties of Dongguan and Lu, Tao Qian, the toothless tiger, finally plucked up his last courage, stretched out his withered claws, and pulled with three claws, and finally got rid of Cao Dabai's face.
He snatched Pei and Chen Liangjun from his hands, leaving Dabai's face looking rather disgraced.
Of course, Xun You, who was the number one schemer around Cao Cao, knew that the so-called dispute between Chen and Pei counties was doomed to Tao Qian's failure from the beginning.
At present, Chen Gui, the governor of Chen County, and Chen Deng, the governor of Pei County, have privately expressed their allegiance to Prime Minister Cao on behalf of the Chen family in Xuzhou. It seems that Tao Gongzu not only controls most of Xuzhou's territory, but also intervenes in some counties in Yuzhou.
County, but in fact, no one knows how many officials in Xuzhou have secretly turned to Cao Cao. When the time comes, the governors from all over the country will rise up and change their banners.
Xuzhou can change the world in an instant.
Cao Cao took such great pains to run Xuzhou privately in order to have more power in his hands to resist the pressure from the north in the future.
The evil dog now entrenched in the north has gradually become a dragon. No one can stop it. It will only take ten years, or even seven or eight years. When the mad dog soars into the clouds and transforms into a dragon, it will be unrivaled in the world.
.
Of course Cao Cao didn't know that Xun You beside him had just directed a traditional drama of Dragon Quest. The key protagonist, the hero, was a super pot-thrower with a face as white as jade. Well, the kind of iron pot that could be re-elected by swinging it.
He also throws the pot in a big way without any mistakes.
"Gongda, didn't I tell you that today we won't think about all the messy things and just concentrate on enjoying the scenery of Mount Tai? Maybe after a while, you and I will want to see Mount Tai.
Look, we have to use our weapons vigorously, and if we don’t fight for dozens of battles, we won’t be able to get any closer.”
Xun You couldn't help but feel pain in his heart when he heard Cao Cao's almost self-deprecating words.
Ming Gong has been arrogant all his life, and there are few people in the world who can be regarded as his equals, but he has always been a head shorter than Lin Feng.
To make Cao Cao say such words of self-denial, I don’t know how many times he would have to dream back in the middle of the night, heartbroken.
"Okay, don't think about anything today, put everything aside, and enjoy the wonders of the mountains and rivers with the Prime Minister, and enjoy the taste of elegance."
Cao Cao stroked his beard and laughed: "I just appreciate your free and easy attitude, Gongda. No matter what it is, you will put it down as soon as you say it, and you will never be sloppy or stuck."
The two of them were about to urge their horses to go up the mountain, when the sound of horse bells sounded on the mountain road behind them. At the same time, they looked back and saw the 800-mile express delivery Pegasus arriving.
For urgent information from the army eight hundred miles away, the soldiers carrying the message all carry blood-red messenger flags. Any officers or soldiers along the way must give way when they see the flag. If there is a slight delay and the delivery of the information is delayed, the law will be followed.
Be beheaded.
This type of eight-hundred-mile urgent letter is usually related to the life and death of a certain prince or the general trend of the world.
Cao Cao was no longer in the mood to go up the mountain. He reined in his horse and stretched out his hand to signal his guards to get the urgent information as soon as possible.
Xun You also frowned, and his heart was like fifteen buckets fetching water, he was up and down.
He is currently unable to determine what the urgent information belongs to, after all, the conditions available for analysis and judgment are too scarce.
It is a foregone conclusion that Lin Feng will win Bingzhou. With Lu Bu's presence in Hongnong, Dong Zhuo will not be able to successfully win it for a while.
Cao Cao and Tao Qian reached a superficial agreement, and under Yuan Wei's mediation, there would be no military disasters in Yangzhou in the short term.
So where can there be shocking news that needs to alarm the Prime Minister immediately?
