Tangled!

Lao Cao was very confused.

If we start a war with the Xiakou Army, the chances of winning are slim, and we feel unwilling to not fight.

"Lord, it means that we must make a choice, between Qin Qi and Yuan Shao. Joining forces with Yuan Shao to resist the Xiakou army means siding with Yuan Shao."

Man Chong said.

"Bo Ning, you are right. This is the situation now. Yuan Shao forces us to choose sides and show our attitude."

Cao Cao said.

"Lord, what do you mean?"

Mao Jie said.

"How do you say this? Yuan Shao is a man of great ambition and talent. He is close to villains but does not listen to loyal advice. He has the influence of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family.

Power and strength make things happen. Even though Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei died, many local officials still came from the Yuan family.

As a disciple and former official of the Yuan family, his influence is indeed very great. What about Qin Qi? She works hard on her own.

He established an academy and became the largest academy in the world. Talents from all over the country flocked to the Xiakou area. In addition, he controlled the territory of seven states.

It can be considered that it has risen. It has a population of more than 20 million, and no prince can compare with it. In terms of conduct,

Yuan Shao values ​​​​children from aristocratic families and does not like children from poor families. If children from poor families are capable in Yuan Shao's hands,

He will not be reused. Xiang Quyi was not reused under Han Fu, and he is still not reused under Yuan Shao.

In terms of leading troops in battle, Qu Yi was definitely the most capable general under Yuan Shao, but he was suppressed everywhere.

Yuan Shao just wanted to use it, not take it seriously. When it came to dealing with enemies, Yuan Shao was ruthless, and even his own advisers would not be merciful.

Like this Tian Feng and Ju Shou incident, if "Hundred Schools Lecture Hall" hadn't published it, we wouldn't have known about it.

What about Qin Qi? She is merciful towards her enemies and will not kill her easily. Even if she has irresolvable conflicts with Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao,

Qin Qi captured Yuzhou and still did not massacre the Yuan family in Yuzhou. As long as he did not commit any serious crimes,

In other words, if no one has a murder case in hand, he is a very kind person if he does not hold him accountable."

Cao Cao said.

"Whether I vote for Yuan Shao or Qin Qi, neither of them will allow me to lead troops. This is for sure.

Yuan Shao will only let me stay by his side and make suggestions for him. But this is not what I am good at.

That is a matter for counselors. Where is Qin Qi? It is very likely that I will be allowed to enter the academy and be with those big guys.

Revise the classics. But what? In terms of hiring people, Qin Qi is bolder than Yuan Shao. Whether they are children of aristocratic families,

Even if you are a child from a poor family, you will be treated equally. As long as you have the ability, you will not be suppressed. On this point,

Qin Qi has done a very good job and is in line with my temperament. When you come to Yuan Shao's tent, you will probably not be reused, and you will only be driven to work hard."

Cao Cao said.

"Everyone is here today to discuss whether we should fight or make peace. If so, who should we turn to? Everyone should express their thoughts without any worries."

Cao Cao said.

Qin Qi speeds up the pace of pacifying the world and does not give Cao Cao and others time. If Cao Cao is allowed to develop well for a few more years, he will still have a chance to fight. The possibility of success in a decisive battle now is too small.

Lao Cao also had to face reality.

"My lord, what you mean is what we mean. If we want to fight, we are not afraid of anyone. If we want to make peace, it will be just a word from my lord."

Cao Hongdao.

As for Cao Hong, it can be ignored.

"Everyone express your opinion first, and we will discuss it carefully."

Cao Cao said.

"My lord, judging from the situation you just analyzed, you won't end up in any good situation following Yuan Shao. After all,

Yuan Shao was born in an aristocratic family and would only trust the children of the aristocratic family and would not reuse the children of poor families. Even the children of the aristocratic family,

I guess we won't have a good future if we take refuge in the past. What about Qin Qi? She can carve out a territory entirely on her own.

In terms of ability, he will definitely crush Yuan Shao. Now Qin Qi controls a huge territory. Unlike Yuan Shao, although he holds the title of the fourth generation and the third Duke,

But facing Gongsun Zan, it will take time to capture Youzhou. Even if Gongsun Zan is eliminated,

There are still 100,000 troops under Qin Qi's command in Liaodong, and they can send troops to Youbeiping at any time and advance to Jizhou.

In addition, the area south of the Yellow River is immediately under Qin Qi's control, and he can also send troops to threaten Yecheng. In addition, the Xiakou division is very powerful.

You can launch attacks from multiple points, and Yuan Shao will be hard-pressed to defend against him. Judging from the above, I am not optimistic about Yuan Shao."

Cheng Yudao.

Speaking of which, there are not many children from rich families under Lao Cao's account, they can only be considered as middle and small bourgeoisie. If you really want to count them, they belong to poor families.

Xiang Yujin, Yue Jin, Li Dian and others were disciples of small families, including the Cao family, Xiahou family, Cheng family and Lu family.

"My lord, if you want to take refuge, I think it would be better to take refuge with Qin Qi. This will be beneficial to my lord's family.

He will not be implicated. Even if the lord cannot lead troops, Qin Qi will definitely not let the lord idle. In addition,

With the abilities of Cao's disciples and Xiahou's disciples, they will definitely stand out in the Xiakou army and be reused.

I heard that for those below the commander of the Xiakou Regiment, the decision is based on force value. Only those above the commander of the regiment need to examine the art of war and strategy.

No matter whether Zi Xiao or Miao Cai, his talents will not be buried. Like Yu Jin is good at training soldiers, Li Dian and Le Jin are good at leading troops.

They will not be buried. Others have their own strengths and should be reused. Of course, there will definitely be great competition in the Xiakou Army.

This goes without saying. As for civil servants, no matter how many talents are trained by the academy, students who have just graduated will

It’s still difficult to fill some positions, so this gives us an opportunity.”

Man Chong said.

The situation has developed to this point, and the officials under Lao Cao's account are all talented people, and they can basically see the development of the situation clearly.

"My lord, I don't think highly of Yuan Shao despite my humble position. Yuan Shao is not good personally, plus Qin Qi drove Yuan Shu to Jizhou to cause chaos.

There are already internal intrigues in Jizhou, and with Yuan Shu getting involved, things are even more complicated, and failure is only a matter of time."

Mao Jie said.

"You are right. Making a choice now is indeed not good for us. However, many things are not subject to human will.

We now only control half of the state, with a population of hundreds of thousands. Compared with the Xiakou area, we appear too weak.

Choosing now will also give you the opportunity to make contributions. Once the world is peaceful, it will be difficult to make contributions.

This is also a choice I made after careful consideration."

Cao Cao said.

"The choice is made now. It will be beneficial to you and the family. The prerequisite is that you don't stand on the wrong team."

Cao Cao smiled bitterly.

"Lord, will our 100,000-strong army be reorganized?"

Cao Hongdao.

"It is said that the Xiakou Army only needs elite divisions and should not use random weapons to make up the numbers. Our 100,000-strong army will definitely be reduced.

Some of our soldiers are unwilling. The Xiakou Army must recruit soldiers on a voluntary basis."

Cao Cao said.

Cao Cao understood that many of the soldiers in his tent were recruited from the army, and not many soldiers volunteered to serve as soldiers.

In ancient times, there was a saying that good men should not be soldiers and good women should not be prostitutes.

"My lord, we all obey your lord's arrangements and act according to your lord's orders. No matter what decision we make, we will definitely abide by it."

Han Hao said.

"Okay! Since everyone agrees, I will go to Xiakou and have a good talk with Qin Qi to try to get good treatment for you."

Cao Cao said.
