Chapter 630    Each has its own plans (41)

The two had to get out of the cage, and Cao Cao was afraid that the county magistrate would regret it and ran away overnight.

I walked all the way, and at night, I passed by the farm where Cao Cao had been friends with Lu Boshe.

Cao Cao was tired and hungry and wanted to go and stay.

Xi Zhicai was afraid that Lu Boshe's family would be too talkative and unreliable, so it was inevitable that there would be some troubles. Because Cao Cao was wanted by Dong Zhuo, he was afraid of implicating the Lu family, so he persuaded Cao Cao to move forward for several miles and stay in a hotel.

Cao Cao usually acted as obedient to Xi Zhicai, but he had his own majesty as the lord.

Staying in is just a trivial matter. Cao Cao believes that the news of the Lu family is blocked and may not know that he was wanted by Dong Zhuo. Since he has made a decision, he cannot tolerate others' objection and insists on going to the Lu family to spend time.

Cao Cao was suspicious by nature, and with Xi Zhicai's reminder, he slept very alert at night.

While Cao Cao seemed to sleep but not sleep, he vaguely heard the sound of swords and swords. His first reaction was that Lu Boshe wanted to harm him.

Cao Cao was not a good person, so he immediately decided to take the initiative, hold his sword in the dark, kill him as soon as he saw him, and soon killed Lu Boshe's family.

After coming to the back kitchen, Cao Cao realized that it seemed that he had killed the wrong one. The Lu family carried a knife at night just to kill pigs to entertain Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was also very regretful and sad. Seeing Xi Zhi who had just arrived, he felt unbearable and couldn't help but sigh:

"I would rather let others down than let others down!"

Xi Zhicai was already a little irresistible about Cao Cao's disobeying his advice. In addition, Cao Cao killed Lu Boshe's family indiscriminately, and before he knew it, a trace of dissatisfaction arose in his heart.

Especially after hearing Cao Cao's words "I would rather let others down than let others down", he seemed to be a warning to himself, and he felt a little afraid and uneasy. He couldn't sleep at night and thought to himself:

"Meng De has a tiger and wolf heart in his heart, and he has a bad heart. He is a little bitch when he uses others, but he is also a little bitch when he doesn't want to use them. If he succeeds, the whole world will be full of fish and meat!"

Xi Zhicai realized that he was worried about Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was also wary of himself. Even if he stayed, he might not be able to use his talents and had to worry about his safety all the time. It would be better to break up. If you want to see him in the future, you would get up quietly and leave without hesitation.

Cao Cao woke up and disappeared from Xi Zhicai. He knew that he had left himself and felt very sad, as if he had lost something very important.

A few years later, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao called on the 18 princes to form an alliance to attack Dong Zhuo. Cao Cao chased Dong Zhuo and was defeated by Xu Rong, and sighed:

"Xi Zhicai abandoned me and left, but heaven lost me."

After returning to Chenliu, Cao Cao became famous all over the world because of his assassination of Dong Zhuo and his alliance with Yuan Shao to attack Dong Zhuo.

Many talents came to vote, and the famous wise man Xun Yu also abandoned Yuan Shao and defected to Cao Cao.

Xun Yu is known as the "talent of a king and a subordinate", but he is good at political strategy and strategic layout, and his specific battlefield tactics are not good at it.

Seeing that Cao Cao was going to wipe out Yu Du, Bailuo, Guan Gu, Yu Fuluo and other bandits in Dongjun, and needed a military advisor with outstanding strategies, Xun Yu recommended his fellow villager Xi Zhicai.

When Cao Cao heard that Xun Yu recommended Xi Zhicai, he was overjoyed.

What he lost is the most precious! He didn't want to miss Xi Zhicai again, so he decided to meet him in person.

After Xi Zhicai took the initiative to leave Cao Cao, he did not return to his hometown directly, and traveled around for more than a year.

With his high vision, those mediocre warlords such as county magistrates, although they were in power, naturally could not get into his eyes. They had never found a suitable lord and returned to their hometown to live in seclusion in great depression.

When he was free, Xi Zhicai recalled the heroes he had come into contact with and felt that the only lord who was most suitable for him was Cao Cao.

Later, Cao Cao recruited talents in Chenliu, and his fellow villager Xun Yu made an appointment with Ji Zhicai and went to join him together.

He thought about it all night and found a reason to shirk it.

Xi Zhicai is not the kind of person who wants to save face, but as a top strategist with insight into people's hearts, he knows that his lord's attention and trust is the basis for leveraging his talents.

If you take the initiative to come to the door and be despised by Cao Cao, you will be destined to be unable to obey your rules and will not be able to fully utilize your intelligence and talents.

Whether a strategist achieves a high level of success does not entirely depend on his intelligence, but also on his lord's execution ability.

Xiang Yu's adviser Fan Zeng is a typical example.

Fan Zeng is the top strategist left by Xiang Liang to Xiang Yu. Although Xiang Yu respected him as his father, he only respected Fan Zeng, who was dozens of years older than him, and did not really trust him in his heart.

Fan Zeng was born as a descendant of Fan Li, but outsiders did not know about it, and he himself never promoted it.

Back then, Fan Li was rich in the world. Although he spent all his family fortune three times, his method of getting rich made many families think about it.

The death of his second son sounded a wake-up call for him.

He was also afraid that others would look at his wealth and the jealous "inheritance technique" of getting rich, so he cut off his incense, allowing his eldest son and younger son to live in seclusion, and leave family mottos, and not to disclose his family background to the outside world.

In fact, Fan Li's ability to become a huge wealthy person is related to his experience as a high-ranking official, his ability, and the connections he has established, and he does not really have the magical "inheritance technique" to get rich.

Since Fan Li's death, in addition to leaving a lot of property for his descendants, he has also left behind two chapters of "Fan Li's Art of War" and "Twelve Financial Management Tips for Tao Zhugong".

Many descendants of Fan Li studied "Twelve Financial Management Tips for Tao Zhugong", while "Fan Li's Art of War" is incomplete, its words are obscure and difficult to understand, and its meaning is profound. Almost no one can learn it and is gradually forgotten by the tribe members.

Because the family did not have the reputation and connections of the previous family, although many of the descendants of the Fan family were proficient in Tao Zhugong's business, their achievements in business were very limited and they never performed particularly outstandingly.

Although Fan Zeng's family background was still good, he was just an ordinary scholar in his early years, but he only learned general textbooks.

When he was middle-aged, Fan Zeng was able to obtain the two incomplete "Fan Li's Art of War" by chance.

He was as if he had gained a treasure and studied military tactics for decades. He only participated in Xiang Liang's uprising at the age of 66.

Soon, Fan Zeng stood out in the ranks of the uprising army because of his goodness in using troops and became Xiang Liang's right-hand man.

Although the military tactics he learned were incomplete, because he spent enough time thinking and precipitating, his wisdom and ability to use troops were still above Zhang Liang, who had obtained the true teachings of Huangshi Gong.

When Fan Zeng was the chief strategist of Xiang Yu, the showdown between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu was actually a contest between Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang.

In fact, Fan Zeng steadily gained the upper hand.

In the end, Fan Zeng used a plan to surround Liu Bang in Xingyang, which made Liu Bang's group fall into a desperate situation.

Because of Fan Zeng's existence, Xiang Yu's encirclement was completely unscathed. Although Zhang Liang was also in Xingyang City, he had no choice but to do anything.

Later, Chen Ping learned about his former lord, Xiang Yu, and used a plan of disagreement.
