Xiaoqi

Xun Yu's words undoubtedly hit Cao Cao's heart, expressed his heartfelt thoughts, and broke through his deepest worries.

For several months, the reason why Cao Cao stood still was not only to calm the rear of Qingzhou, but also to sit on the sidelines and wait for the outcome of the battle in Youzhou.And what he wants to see the most is that Li Li's Xiliang army and the barbarian army will lose both, or the Xiliang army will be defeated. This is the most ideal result.Based on his understanding of Li Li and the Xiliang Army under his command, he knew that even if Li Li lost to the Wuhuan and Xianbei coalition forces, he would still be able to beat the barbarian army to the bone, weaken their vitality, and be unable to go south for a few years. sweep.

And this is exactly the situation that Cao Cao would like to see the most. Even if Li Li still occupies Youzhou after the defeat, he cannot make up for the losses after the defeat.This left Cao Cao with the opportunity to catch up, allowing him to grab the greatest benefits on the Hebei battlefield, and then develop rapidly, and then compete with Li Li to determine the final ownership of the Central Plains.

This perfect blueprint and the long-term strategy of Dingding Central Plains are the result of the joint planning of Cao Cao, Xun Yu and many advisers.The biggest obstacle restricting the whole plan is Li Li from Xiliang.

Perhaps the princes of the towns hadn't realized how powerful Li Li of Xiliang was before, because no matter how powerful Li Li was, he always lived in a corner of Xiliang, like a billionaire hiding in the mountains. Nouveau riche and miser are nothing to be afraid of.But after the Sili War, Li Li's tentacles began to extend into the Central Plains. When the princes from all walks of life competed for the Han Emperor Liu Xie, Li Li took the opportunity to send troops to collect the entire territory of Sili and gather heavy troops in Sili.This move can be described as a flash of sharpness, which made the princes of all towns jealous.

However, the time for Li Li to truly show his strength was after the establishment of the Yuan League.In the early days of the establishment of the alliance, Li Li remained calm and held back his troops for a long time. It was not until the soldiers and horses of various princes entered the battlefield one after another that Li Li showed unparalleled strength.

In September last year, Li Li mobilized [-] troops to conquer Youzhou. After hearing the news, the princes from all walks of life couldn't help but feel relieved.Little did he know that after a lapse of several months, when Liu Biao of Jingzhou led his troops to withdraw from the Huainan battlefield suddenly, Li Li once again mobilized [-] troops to capture Nanyang in one fell swoop, and then Xu Rong, who was stationed at Wuguan, led [-] infantry troops to the Yuzhou battlefield. Nanyang's Bocai army joined forces, with a total of [-] soldiers and horses attacking Yuzhou.

After dispatching 20 troops one after another, Zhou Yu's army, who was stationed in Sili, attacked again, leading 27 cavalry to go north to Jizhou.In just over a month, the Xiliang army actually went to war on three battlefields at the same time, mobilizing a total of [-] troops. The battle was unprecedented and mighty.What is even more surprising is that the Xiliang Army, which fought on the three battlefields at the same time, was extremely stable.Such a powerful army and horses, coupled with a good record, really made the princes of the towns tremble with fear and mixed feelings.

If this is the case, although the princes of the towns are quite frightened, they are not surprised.After all, they had known for a long time that Li Li had hundreds of thousands of troops, and his troops were strong and powerful.However, after mobilizing nearly 30 troops successively, the prefectures and counties in Xiliang turned out to be as usual, without the slightest sign of turmoil. This is what shocked the princes the most.

With 30 troops dispatched, the land of the four states under Li Li's rule is still calm as usual. What does this mean?Anyone who is not a fool can think of the answer.This means that the army under Li Li's command is far more than 30. The rumor that the Xiliang Army has as many as 50 people is not a rumor, but a fact!

Since Li Li has such strong strength, he can eliminate Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers by himself, but why does he need to contact the princes of various towns to form an alliance to seek Yuan?Could it be that the alliance itself is a huge conspiracy?

This was the thought that came to Cao Cao's mind instantly after he learned that the battle in Youzhou had long ended. An unprecedented sense of crisis filled his heart, overwhelming him, so he vented all his anguish and sorrow in his heart. On Cao Ren.Who made Cao Ren his most trusted direct subordinate?

Chapter 993 Guan Shanyue, a demon

With 30 troops dispatched, the land of the four states under Li Li's rule is still calm as usual. What does this mean?Anyone who is not a fool can think of the answer.This means that the army under Li Li's command is far more than 30. The rumor that the Xiliang Army has as many as 50 people is not a rumor, but a fact!

What's more, as wise as Cao Cao, he has already seen from the mobilization of troops and horses of the Xiliang Army that in addition to the 30 troops that have already been dispatched, Li Li still has available soldiers in his hands.

What a terrible thing this is!

Just imagine, if Li Li ruled the land of the four states, at least 20 soldiers and horses should be left in each state and county. In this way, the four states and counties would have 20 soldiers and horses.The 30 defenders, plus the 50 who went on the expedition, will be a 50 army. This is all the troops in Li Li's hands.But Li Li actually still has soldiers available. Doesn't this mean that Li Li already has more than [-] soldiers and horses?

Since Li Li has such strong strength, he can eliminate Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers by himself, but why does he need to contact the princes of various towns to form an alliance to seek Yuan?Could it be that the alliance itself is a huge conspiracy?

This was the thought that came to Cao Cao's mind when he learned that the battle in Youzhou had long since ended, and he sorted out a clear thread from the intricate situation.However, the more he saw clearly, the more worried and distressed Cao Cao became, and an unprecedented sense of crisis filled his heart, overwhelming him, so he turned his full of worries and troubles into monstrous anger, and vented it all on Cao Ren .

Who made Cao Ren his most trusted direct subordinate?

Those who do not seek the overall situation are not able to seek a corner, but who knows the tremendous pressure and unspeakable distress that those who take care of the overall situation will have to bear?This is the case with Cao Cao.

He is so smart.There is almost nothing that can blind him for a long time, even if he doesn't understand it for a while and thinks about it afterwards.Then you will be able to see clearly.But the smarter you are, the more trouble you have.There are many things that I have clearly thought about but can't do anything about. This kind of pain is the most tormenting.Then all the complicated emotions such as irritability, worry, and annoyance gathered together, causing his head to explode, but there was no one to talk to, and he could only bear everything alone.

As a result, those closest to him will often suffer innocent disasters, and innocent people will be affected.You might even lose your life for it.Cao Ren in front of him is the one who was innocently angered.

The lack of careful work actually has nothing to do with Cao Ren, because the careful work was not selected and trained by him.He is only responsible for receiving information.However, Cao Cao was irritable and melancholy, and his anger had to be vented, otherwise he would go mad.But there are only five people in the hall, except for Cao Caoren, the other four are all scribes that he relies heavily on.The scribes are thoughtful and thin-skinned.He is not as bold and unrestrained as generals, so Cao Ren is the best candidate for Cao Cao to vent his emotions.It's that simple.

Xun Yu couldn't fully understand Cao Cao's thoughts, but he knew that Cao Cao was definitely not deliberately targeting Cao Ren. The reason why he was furious was to cover up his inner panic and worry about the future situation.Therefore, although Xun Yu's persuasion did not fully speak to Cao Cao's thoughts, it also got the pulse, which had the effect of exonerating Cao Ren's argument.

After Xun Yu finished speaking, Cao Cao raised his head and stared at the main hall for a long time.The whole time he was deep in thought, but the cloudy expression on his face gradually eased.

Stand for a while.Cao Cao's figure moved slightly, and he looked at Xun Yu deeply, then waved his hand gently, motioning Cao Ren to stand up.Immediately, he refused to mention the matter of talent just now, and said to Xun Yu and Cheng Yu and others in a low tone: "In just half a year, Li Li razed the two barbarian tribes of Wuhuan and Xianbei to the ground with a mere [-] soldiers and horses. Make them bow their heads and surrender, and move thousands of miles into Xiliang territory. This ability really makes us ashamed!" The tone of his voice was full of sighs, showing that Cao Cao was extremely restless, mixed with joy and sorrow, and mixed feelings.

As a Han Chinese, Cao Cao also had the lofty ambition of guarding the frontier, resisting barbarian invasions or directly conquering them.This was his greatest wish when he was young. He was willing to hold a three-foot sword and go to the frontier fortress to throw his head and blood for the Han nation.For this reason, he has said more than once that his greatest ambition in life is to be able to engrave "Tomb of Cao Cao, General of Han Zhenbei" on his tombstone after death.

It can be seen that Cao Cao's attitude towards the barbarians is very similar to Li Li's. The only thing missing is that people can't help themselves in the world.Cao Cao, who was expected to realize his long-cherished wish in his life, was now taken a step ahead by Li Li and took the lead, and in one fell swoop quelled the barbarian border afflictions such as Wuhuan, Xianbei, and the Southern Huns, which had been in trouble for hundreds of years.

Because of this, Cao Cao admired Li Lili's army for pacifying the barbarian tribes outside the Great Wall.However, the speed at which Li Li pacified the barbarians and the growing strength of subduing the two major barbarian tribes made Cao Cao even more fearful and anxious.And his exclamation of "making us ashamed" is a true portrayal of mixed joy and sorrow deep in his heart, and he really expressed his feelings.

Xun Yu was keenly aware of Cao Cao's worries, and wanted to comfort him, but he suddenly changed his mind when the words came to his lips.Avoiding some things blindly is not the answer, anyway, it is an established fact, and it will happen sooner or later, and the only way is to face it calmly.

At this point, Xun Yu thought about it and said: "My lord's words are true. Leaving aside the grievances and grievances of the past, General Li Li is indeed the number one general I have seen in a century since the founding of the Han Dynasty. It is comparable to General Wei and Huo Huoqi (Wei Qing, Huo Qubing), and even worse. Not to mention the previous pacification of the Xiliang Qiang rebellion and the Southern Huns, but the conquest of Wuhuan and Xianbei in one fell swoop. , is enough to be recorded in the annals of history and admired by the world.

As far as I know, the Wuhuan tribe has no less than 12 people who control strings, and the Xianbei tribe is even better, with at least 15 cavalry; and the tribal people of these two tribes are as many as hundreds of thousands. Together nearly a million people.However, these barbarians continued to fight among themselves, and there were only a million people, but they were torn apart. The nearly 30 barbarian cavalry belonged to dozens of tribes, large and small. Thirty thousand war cavalry, ranging from hundreds to thousands of cavalry, the strength is extremely scattered.It is precisely because of this that the army led by Li Lili defeated them one by one, and completely wiped out the elite war cavalry of the barbarians in two decisive battles. As a result, the two tribes with a population of one million were forced to surrender with more than one hundred thousand soldiers and horses, setting an unprecedented record. impressive record. "

On the surface, Xun Yu's remarks were to praise Li Li's outstanding record, but in fact they were to analyze the reasons for Li Li's victory to Cao Cao.It not only positively affirmed Li Li's meritorious deeds, but also indirectly pointed out that Li Li was lucky to win the Youzhou battlefield; if it weren't for the fact that Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes were not torn apart and continued internal strife, the final victory or defeat is still unknown.The purpose of such a detailed analysis is to reassure Cao Cao and dispel the panic and worries in his heart.

After a pause, Xun Yu secretly nodded in relief when he saw Cao Cao's pensive expression, then changed the topic abruptly, and said solemnly: "Although Li Li's expedition to the outside of the Great Wall was a lot of luck, or luck, but the final result But he won the battle, and he won a complete victory, pacifying the Monan grassland in one fell swoop. Now, hundreds of thousands of barbarian tribes have surrendered to him and have been forcibly moved to Xiliang by him. In time, these barbarian tribes will truly Become a man of the people. This move seems ordinary, but it is of great significance. The merits of the present age will benefit the future.

But these have nothing to do with us right now. What really has a huge impact on us is that as Youzhou and Monan Grasslands have fallen into Li Li's hands one after another, the entire state, counties and pastoral areas that are rich in excellent war horses in the Han Dynasty are all under Li Li's control. Down.What this means, I don't think I need to say more, you all understand.From then on, we and other princes will completely lose the supply of high-quality war horses, even if we are willing to spend a lot of money to buy them, the only way is to buy war horses from Li Li, and there is no other way. "After pointing out the strength directly, Xun Yu didn't say much more.

After the voice fell for a long time, there was silence in the main hall, so quiet that everyone in the hall could clearly hear the other party's deliberately suppressed breathing.

Obviously, there is no solution to the war horse problem raised by Xun Yu for the time being, and the final solution depends on Cao Cao's means.

While Cheng Yu, Liu Ye and others were racking their brains, Cao Cao walked to the upper steps with his hands behind his back, and slowly sat down on the main seat.Then he smiled lightly, and said with a nonchalant smile: "You don't have to worry, there has never been a hurdle in this world that you can't get over. Don't worry about the horses for the time being. Let's discuss it in the future."

Cao Cao said lightly, then turned his attention to Xun Yu, and said in a low voice, "Are the people from Runan settled properly? What are their requirements?" Cheng Yu, Cao Ren and the others were shocked by this inexplicable question. Confused, he couldn't help pricking up his ears and waiting for Xun Yu's answer.

But seeing that Xun Yu readily agreed, he respectfully reported: "They didn't mention any excessive demands, they only asked the lord to take them in, and form a separate battalion of the tribes they brought, under the leadership of the two of them, and provide The food, grass and equipment needed. In addition, I begged the lord to allow them to avenge their third brother, otherwise they can only lead their troops to leave and go to another place." Although they led the crowd to vote and asked Cao Cao to take them in, there were no desperate people. In fact, it is more like making a deal, and the conditions put forward are basically asking for benefits.However, Xun Yu said that these conditions are not too much, perhaps this is his attitude towards this matter.

"Hmm." Cao Cao frowned slightly and nodded slightly, muttering: "We can provide them with a camp for the garrison, sufficient supply of food, grass and supplies, and they will still lead the troops in the headquarters, but the matter of revenge must be considered in a long-term manner, and cannot be rushed. Other conditions are You can agree to them, but you must obey my orders in this matter. Tell them what I say truthfully, and if you accept it, you can stay, otherwise, let them do what they want."

"No, my lord is wise." Xun Yu gladly accepted the order.Then the six principal ministers returned to the battle in front of them and discussed for a long time

Chapter 994 Autumn Night Song, Ma Mingfeng Xiaoxiao

In the golden autumn of September, Qingsong Bieyuan ushered in the most beautiful scenery of the year.

The green pines in the back mountain stand tall, the pine needles are evergreen, and they are not afraid of wind, rain, ice and snow.The majestic and majestic mountain peaks are like the unyielding backbone of a big man; the towering ancient trees under the rustling autumn wind symbolize the perseverance and stubbornness of a good man who is not afraid of all challenges.

On the wilderness floating with the wind, the golden yellow grass set off continuous waves like waves, layers upon layers, ups and downs, like a man's chest, as vast as the sea, as gentle as water.Not only has indomitable tenacity, but also has the broad feelings like sea water. In order to resist the frost, rain and snow, it can stand proudly like a towering mountain; Everything you cherish.

The maple leaves on the yin mountain in front of the door are red and green, red like silk, green like gauze, as long as you have love in your heart, the rustling autumn wind is like a lover's hand, the love is endless and endless.The red and green maple leaves are like an affectionate girl, enthusiastic and shy, graceful and charming, charming and lovely.The new wind roared past, lifting the red and green maple leaves, like lifting a red hijab, revealing that pure and shy pretty face.Looking at this beautiful and moving face, what do you think of, such as immature youth, boiling enthusiasm, or the lost memories of the first love; you can get what you think of.You can go as far as your ideal.

The beautiful scenery cherishes the good time, and the reverie is endless.People who know how to feel pity for nature often have their dreams come true, and they can gain a sense of time that is far better than ordinary people.

For half a month, every corner around Qingsong Bieyuan left footprints of Li Li and Meng Xin cuddling each other.I witnessed the new wind returning to the earth, watching the thatch gradually turn yellow, and accompanied by the maple leaves turning red day by day.Waiting for the frost to come.

When the dawn dawned, the two woke up in an embrace. The frost outside the window not only did not make them feel the slightest cold, but instead made the two loving hearts cling together.A fiery heart, a warm body, and the counterproductive severe cold bring a raging passion, making the frost an irrelevant foil, witnessing a precious love.

When the sun goes down.The two snuggled together, watched the sunset reluctantly set slowly, and ushered in the dusk when the sunset glow filled the sky.The whistling north wind did not blow away the affectionate body temperature.The slowly falling night cannot stop the affectionate kiss, the darkness cannot lose the caressing hand, and the silence cannot cover up the lingering joyful voice.No matter when and where, as long as you can be with the one you love.Frost, darkness and cold are all seasonings of love.The fiercer the love, the more mellow and intense the love, the more difficult it is to separate.

As the night fell, the frost came quietly and fell on the window sill, falling little by little, accumulating little by little.Gradually piled up into shapes, revealing a layer of white crystals as thin as wings.Exactly like snow.The coldness hits people, catering to the howling wind, making the wilderness, mountains and rivers completely silent, and the world seems to be still.This is the autumn night dominated by frost and wind.

The cold moonlight shines through the lattice window, and the pure white light shines on the window lattice, which invisibly brings some light to the dark bedroom, and presents the two overlapping figures on the soft couch on the window lattice.The heavy panting and deliberately suppressed groans quietly floated out of the window, mixed with the whistling north wind, forming a special harmony, drifting with the wind, still faintly audible several miles away.

On the window lattice illuminated by the moonlight, one could see the heavy and powerful impacts of that burly and strong figure again and again.The heavy snorting overlapped with the brave crashing sound, and there was also a crisp moan in between, and an extremely cheerful scream appeared from time to time.

Beneath the sturdy figure is a graceful and graceful body with a graceful and exquisite figure.She has a very three-dimensional face outline, a slender pink neck, a pair of tall and round breasts that look like a half moon, and shake violently with the ups and downs of her body, just like the head of a huge wave in a stormy sea. The majestic swaying wantonly makes people move their fingers and salivate.And below her slender waist is completely covered by the strong body above, only the pair of slender and slender long legs protrude from the tiger waist of the strong body, raised high, and bent over again and again Shocks landed on the man's back from time to time.

Inadvertently, the high raised legs and the time and time again straightened up to cater to her, imperceptibly revealing her plump buttocks like a hill.The buttocks are round and plump, and the shape is extremely beautiful. As long as you take a look at the round curve, you can no longer look away.

If someone peeps or passes by the window at this time, it will definitely be horrifying.Those who are familiar with the matter can't help but tiptoe to peep and watch, and then can't help trembling all over, dazed, dreaming infinitely, and entertaining themselves without knowing it.
