Chapter 120: Various Reactions (2)
"This is indeed an opportunity!" Xun You is also a top strategist. The reason why he is not as good as Guo Jia is because Guo Jia is a poor family. He has been very good at grasping people's hearts since childhood and has been perfect in grasping human nature. However, Xun You is an official and aristocratic family. He has a good education since childhood to have a view of the overall situation but lacks a view of personal humanity.
"Whether it is Lu Bu or Sun Ce, the war between these two is an opportunity for us!" Xun You explained, "Sun Ce occupied Jiangdong and captured half of Lujiang. If our army and Yuan Shao start a war, they will definitely have no time to take care of Sun Ce. Sun Ce can go north along the Anhui City and attack Xudu directly. At that time, we will be in a dilemma!"
Now that Lu Bu has captured Wancheng, he and Sun Ce have become deadly enemies. The two tigers fight each other, no matter who loses and who wins, it will take time! What we lack now is time. Now we should fight quickly and resolve Liu Bei in Xuzhou, and then we will go north to Guandu and Yuan Benchu to decide the victory and defeat!"
What Cao Cao was originally afraid of was that Sun Ce would support himself in the decisive battle with Yuan Shao. Yuan Benchu, a young playmate, now occupied the entire Hebei subordinate Qing Youji and the four continents, and he was in charge of his troops. He was powerful.
Cao Cao would not have the confidence to defeat Yuan Shao without coming. If Sun Ce had another knife in the back, Cao Cao would definitely die without a place to bury him.
Now that Sun Ce and Lu Bu fight first, they give Cao Cao time. What Cao Cao needs is that no matter who wins Lu Bu and Sun Ce, he will destroy Liu Bei and Yuan Shao first in Guandu to decide the outcome.
If you lose, you don’t need to talk about anything! If you win, you can rest and wait to swallow the entire Hebei. Why not be afraid of Hebei in hand?
"Okay! This is very good! I will defeat Liu Bei within three days!" Cao Cao's eyes flashed with a flash of murderous intent and regret. Liu Bei was released by him, and he was too proud. Even if Guo Jia and others reminded themselves, they didn't pay much attention, which led to the Xuzhou rebellion.
The general Chewei was killed, and he had to personally conquer Xuzhou.
The army consumed a lot of food and grass when it moved. Cao Cao was already very injured when he fought a battle in Xuzhou, and the food and grass he got from Xia Pi was intercepted by Liu Bei. Now he has fought the second battle in Xuzhou.
If Liu Bei is not defeated, Cao Cao may not be qualified to compete with Yuan Shao for the best.
But Cao Cao's eyes are more of a sense of determination. If he is wrong, he is wrong! If he is wrong, he will correct him! Cao Cao cannot spend too much time to regret this is not Cao Cao's style.
The war between Lu Bu and Sun Ce unknowingly affected Liu Bei.
Wancheng
In the backyard of the prefect's mansion, a middle-aged scholar was playing Go with himself step by step. People were playing chess but their hearts were flying.
"Sun Ce Lu Bu?!" the middle-aged scholar muttered to himself, "No, no!" He looked confused and disbelieving.
The middle-aged scholar has a charitable face. But those eyes make people feel frightened. When he is stared at, it is like a poisonous snake paying attention to you at all times. If he is accidentally killed, he can fly out and bite you.
He is Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe, known as the poisonous man. He has seen Lu Bu before. In Chang'an, the reason why Lu Bu's army was defeated and did not drive out of Chang'an was mostly Jia Xu. He persuaded Guo Si and Li Jue to accommodate military power to counterattack Chang'an. If it weren't for him, Li Jue and Guo Si might be a rich man, maybe he had died at the hands of bandits, and Lu Bu might have been loyal to the Han Dynasty with Wang Yun in Chang'an.
Jia Xu didn't feel guilty at all when he plotted against Lu Bu. Although Jia Wen and this person were not a big evil, they were extremely selfish people. He could sacrifice anyone for his own sake, including his current master Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu killed Cao Cao's son Cao Ang and killed Cao Cao's favorite general Dian Wei. He was a fool on the surface and knew that Cao Cao could not let Zhang Xiu go, but Jia Xu resolutely sold Zhang Xiu to Cao Cao for the safety of his family, and coaxed Zhang Xiu around with his mouth.
You must know that no matter how generous or conscientious a person is, he will not be able to let the murderer who killed his own son be spared, and this murderer almost killed himself.
So later, Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao in 199 and died in 207, but our old man Jia Xu lived to 223 years. You should know that Jia Xu was more than Zhang Xiu for the first half of his life.
In Jia Xu's eyes, Lu Bu said it nicely, "Be brave but not stubborn, but stubborn," and "to put it bluntly, he was just a fool who was unscrupulous and arrogant. Such a person might be able to be a wolf in a peaceful and prosperous era, but his final outcome was still suspected by the superiors and died because Lu Bu was too crazy.
If such a person dies faster in troubled times, he can protect his safety for a while but cannot protect him for a lifetime.
In Jia Xu's opinion, Lu Bu, a person who should have died long ago, is actually alive and occupying the battle between Wancheng and Sun Ce.
"Is it Chen Gong?" Jia Xu was a little confused but then shook his head. Although Chen Gong was also a top strategist, it was difficult to see the general trend of Wancheng.
Wancheng is located in Lujiang, Huainan. It is located in Yuzhou of Cao Cao to the north, the tiger sight of Jiangdong to the south, and the invasion of Jingzhou to the west. It can be said that it is extremely dangerous to have enemies on all sides, but it is also a place of opportunity.
It can rage the Central Plains to the north and cross the Yangtze River to the south. Even if it is guarded, as long as it is the main city of Shucheng, Jiashi and Shiting, a 10,000 army can block 10,000 in front of the mountain.
This is also the reason why Cao Cao didn't directly fight from Lujiang to Jiangdong after he got Jingzhou.
There are many iron ore in Lujiang. Only with iron can we have military armor, and only with military armor can we compete for supremacy. Lujiang is also one of the few counties with a large population.
Located at the interface of various forces, you can get along well with others and wait and see what changes are happening.
"The world suddenly became fun!" Jia Xu suddenly laughed, and the chess piece in his hand had fallen "Let me see how far you, Lu Bu, can go!"
The black son represented by Jia Xu has cut off the big dragon with white characters, and the outcome will be announced soon!
